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

By simulating Euclid telescope observations, scientists showed that combining two analysis methods—coarse ripple measurement and fine asymmetry detection—nearly doubles accuracy. This will help test theories of the Universe's birth and likely spot traces of quantum jitters.
