Hunting Dark Photons with a Mirror Telescope

Dark photons are light relatives of ordinary light, which could explain dark matter. A spherical mirror transformed them into radio waves, and 221 chilled sensors tried to catch that signal. In 1480 minutes, not a single photon was found, but it set a new limit on how strongly they interact with mat

How the ripples of the early Universe tell of its birth

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.
