For decades, people have been trying to directly detect dark matter: the missing mass in our universe. Now, there's a new, ...

Led by EQUS Research Fellow Dr. Chris Baker (UQ), study proposes direct detection of low-mass dark matter via its interactions with superfluid helium confined in an optomechanical cavity.

Meanwhile, the 'light' part makes the polariton almost massless, resulting in the formation of a superfluid condensate ... strength of the light-matter coupling as the dark exciton density is ...

As the hunt for dark matter, the universe's most common yet most mysterious "stuff," continues, scientists are understandably eager to get the most powerful space telescope in on the action.

Superconducting materials are similar to the carpool lane in a congested interstate. Like commuters who ride together, electrons that pair up can bypass the regular traffic, moving through the ...
