Dark Matter Theories Suggest Hidden Mirror World and Origins at the Edge of the Universe
Two new studies from UC Santa Cruz propose that dark matter may have originated from a hidden mirror world or been radiated into existence by the universe’s expanding cosmic horizon. These theories, rooted in established physics, challenge traditional models and suggest dark matter could exist without interacting with ordinary matter, redefining ...

Microplastics In Mind: Scientists Discover Plastic Particles In Human Brains
Tiny shards of plastic called microplastics have been detected accumulating in human brains, but there is not yet enough evidence to say whether this is doing us harm, experts have said.

New Inelastic Dark Matter Model Could Bypass Current Limits of Particle Detection
A new study from Brazil proposes an inelastic dark matter model using a massive vector mediator, potentially explaining the correct abundance of dark matter while evading existing detection limits. This fresh approach could revive interest in previously ruled-out models and offers experimental pathways to test these elusive particles through the in...

Brightest Gamma-Ray Burst Ever Observed Reveals Cosmic Secrets
On October 9, 2022, astronomers detected GRB 221009A, the most powerful gamma-ray burst ever recorded, earning the nickname “BOAT” (Brightest Of All Time). This rare, once-in-10,000-year event came from a galaxy 2 billion light-years away and temporarily blinded gamma-ray detectors. It revealed new insights into stellar death, as the associated...

sPHENIX at RHIC Delivers First Results, Sets Stage for Quark–Gluon Plasma Studies
Brookhaven’s sPHENIX detector at RHIC has released its first results from gold-ion collisions, confirming accurate detection of particle counts and energy levels. These measurements validate the detector’s performance and lay the groundwork for exploring quark–gluon plasma (QGP)—a primordial state of matter from the early universe. With bas...

Scientists Recreate Cosmic Ray Physics Using Cold Atom in New Laboratory Study
Scientists have successfully recreated Fermi acceleration in a lab using ultracold atoms and movable optical barriers, simulating how cosmic rays gain energy in space. Developed by teams from Birmingham and Chicago, the mini Fermi accelerator marks a major advance in particle physics, opening doors to high-energy astrophysics studies and innovation...

Air Pollution Is Now Linked To Brain Tumour, Shows Study
Air pollution may not only affect your heart and lungs but can also raise the possibility of developing meningioma -- a typically noncancerous brain tumour -- according to a study.

Scientists Say Dark Matter Could Turn Failed Stars Into ‘Dark Dwarfs’
Astronomers suggest that brown dwarfs—dim, failed stars—could transform into “dark dwarfs” by capturing dark matter in their cores. When dark matter particles annihilate, they release heat, potentially lighting up these stars. Physicist Jeremy Sakstein and researchers like Jillian Paulin and Rebecca Leane support this idea, which could help...

Dark Dwarfs: New Star-Like Objects May Reveal Nature of Dark Matter
Scientists have proposed a new class of stellar objects called “dark dwarfs,” sub-stellar bodies that may glow faintly from the energy released by annihilating dark matter particles. Found near the galaxy’s core, these objects could hold crucial clues about the elusive nature of dark matter. Powered not by fusion but by WIMP-like particles, d...

Most Distant Mini-Halo Discovered in Galaxy Cluster 10 Billion Light-Years Away
Astronomers have uncovered the most distant mini-halo ever detected, located around the galaxy cluster SpARCS1049, a staggering 10 billion light-years from Earth. Using the LOFAR radio telescope network, which spans eight European countries, researchers detected a faint, diffuse glow—evidence of a giant cloud of high-energy particles and magnetic...
