An exciting new experiment is being set up at Yale university in the US.

Hamburg, Germany (SPX) May 24, 2023 - An international research team is employing an innovative approach to detect elusive, extremely light new elementary particles, known as axions or axion-like particles, using the Any Light Particle

Dark matter could consist of particles so ultralight, they behave more like waves.

If the invisible matter does not appear in experiments or particle colliders, we may have to find it in space

There are two ways to start a story about the axion. One is to explain that this hypothetical particle could be the key to a major problem in the Standard Model of particle physics, which describes all of the known fundamental particles. The beauty of the axion is that there is a second, equally significant beginning to its story. We now suspect the axion may also be the answer to one of the most important questions—if not the most important question—in all of particle physics and astronom...

April 6, 2021 Kuo-Nan Liou, a UCLA distinguished professor of atmospheric sciences and the founding director of the Joint Institute for Regional Earth System Science and Engineering (JIFRESSE), died March 20 at his home in Los Angeles after a brief illness. He was 77. “Kuo-Nan was a great scientist and an outstanding leader, who had a profound impact on science and on UCLA. We will miss him greatly,” said Miguel Garcia-Garibay, dean of the UCLA Division of Physical Sciences. A former chair ...

Credit: GBO / AUI / NSF In the 1970s, physicists uncovered a problem with the Standard Model of particle physics—the theory that describes three of the four fundamental forces of nature (electromagnetic, weak, and strong interactions; the fourth is gravity). They found that, while the theory predicts that a symmetry between particles and forces in our Universe and a mirror version should be broken, the experiments say otherwise. This mismatch between theory and observations is dubbed “the S...
