Quantum sensor networks enhance search for elusive dark matter
Tokyo, Japan (SPX) Oct 21, 2025
Dark matter remains one of physics' most enduring mysteries, yet researchers at Tohoku University have developed a promising new strategy to detect it-by linking quantum sensors into sophisticated network structures.
These quantum sensors, based on superconducting qubits, can pick up incredibly faint signals that ordinary detectors would miss. By organizing the qubits into optimized networ

Most massive stars in the early universe were likely born as binaries
Paris, France (SPX) Oct 21, 2025
A new study from Tel Aviv University's School of Physics and Astronomy suggests that most massive stars formed in the early universe were born in pairs, echoing patterns seen among massive stars in our own Milky Way. The finding provides the first strong evidence that binary star formation was common in the early cosmos-an insight that reshapes understanding of how black holes, supernovae, and h

Dark matter returns as leading explanation for galactic gamma ray glow
Paris, France (SPX) Oct 21, 2025
A new study has reignited the long-running debate over what causes the mysterious gamma-ray glow emanating from the Milky Way's center, suggesting that dark matter may once again be the most plausible explanation.
Led by Dr. Moorits Muru, with Dr. Noam Libeskind and Dr. Stefan Gottlober from the Leibniz Institute for Astrophysics Potsdam (AIP), in collaboration with Professor Yehuda Hoffma

China commissions world's first mid-infrared solar magnetic-field telescope
Tokyo, Japan (SPX) Oct 21, 2025
The National Astronomical Observatories of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (NAOC) has announced that the world's first telescope dedicated to measuring solar magnetic fields in the mid-infrared band has passed its final acceptance review and is now fully operational.
Known as the Accurate Infrared Magnetic Field Measurements of the Sun (AIMS), the telescope marks a breakthrough in global s

Signals from the dawn of time may reveal secrets of the Big Bang
Berlin, Germany (SPX) Oct 21, 2025
For centuries, humans have sought to understand how the universe began. Now, researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Physics (MPP) and the Institut d'Astrophysique de Paris are proposing new ways to peer further back than ever before-toward the first instants following the Big Bang.
Physicists Leo Stodolsky of MPP and Joseph Silk of the Institut d'Astrophysique de Paris have developed

Asteroid with Second-Fastest Orbit Discovered Hidden in Sunlight
Berlin, Germany (SPX) Oct 21, 2025
A newly discovered asteroid has been found racing around the Sun in just 128 days, making it the Solar System's second-fastest known orbiting asteroid. Designated 2025 SC79, the object was detected by Carnegie Science astronomer Scott S. Sheppard on September 27, concealed within the Sun's glare-an area notoriously difficult to observe.
The asteroid's path takes it inside the orbit of Venu

Sentinel-1D prepares for encapsulation ahead of November launch
Paris, France (SPX) Oct 21, 2025
The European Space Agency has confirmed that the Sentinel-1D satellite is fuelled and ready for encapsulation, marking a key milestone in its launch campaign. The spacecraft is scheduled for liftoff on Tuesday, 4 November, aboard an Ariane 6 rocket from French Guiana.
Part of the Copernicus Earth observation programme, Sentinel-1D will continue the mission's delivery of high-resolution rad
