Space Beacons: LST-1 Telescope Begins Tracking

For two years, the LST-1 prototype tracked the flickering of distant space beacons — blazars. At their centers, supermassive black holes act like giant spotlights, shooting out narrow beams of gamma rays. The telescope didn't catch the rays themselves, but their atmospheric footprints — faint blue f

Radon Hides Dark Matter

Scientists found that noise in dark matter detectors is caused by radon. Its atoms settle on internal metal grids and, when decaying, mimic signals from elusive particles. The created model matched data from the LUX and LZ experiments. This will help purify future experiments and maybe finally catch
