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 ...

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 ...
