Axion Dark Matter Hunted by Quantum Sensors
The search for dark matter is increasingly using ultra-sensitive quantum sensors, like atomic clocks and magnetometers, to detect the theorized axion particle. Axions are motivated by solving a key nuclear physics puzzle and could naturally account for dark matter, with their properties constrain...

Hawking's Black Hole Theorem Confirmed by New Merger
A new analysis of gravitational wave data provides the strongest confirmation yet of Stephen Hawking's black hole area theorem, showing that a black hole's surface area never decreases. This finding coincides with the tenth anniversary of LIGO's first gravitational wave detection, which won a Nob...
