Octopuses may link the evolution of complex life to genetic ‘dark matter’

Newswise – Octopuses have captured the attention of scientists and the public with their remarkable intelligence, including tool use, participation in creative play and problem solving, and even flight from aquariums. Now their acumen can provide a critical link in understanding the evolution of complex life and cognition, including the human brain. An international team …

Scientists find new clues that dark matter may be made of dark photons

2D projection of the cosmic web obtained from a supercomputer simulation. Credit: Dr. Ewald Puchwein and the Sherwood-Relics collaboration Dark matter could be made of ultra-light dark photons that have warmed our universe: this is a new scenario proposed in a study recently published in Physical examination letters. This hypothesis, the authors say, is in …

Study rules out primordial black holes originally clustered as dark matter candidates

Study rules out primordial black holes originally clustered as dark matter candidates

Pixabay. Primordial black holes (PBH) are fascinating cosmic bodies that have been widely studied by astrophysicists around the world. As their name suggests, these are black holes that would have appeared in the early days of the universe, less than a second after the Big Bang. Physics theory suggests that in the split second before …

A particle accelerator that just ignited could reveal rare forms of matter

A particle accelerator that just ignited could reveal rare forms of matter

A few hundred yards from where we are sitting is a large metal chamber devoid of air and covered with the cables needed to control the instruments within. A particle beam silently passes through the interior of the chamber at about half the speed of light until it strikes a piece of solid material, resulting …
