#DidYouKnow that dark matter makes up about 85 percent of the total matter in the universe, accounting for more than five times as much as all ordinary matter? Learn more about U.S. Department of Energy's research on dark matter. #DarkMatterDay #Halloween energy.gov/science/doe-ex…
When you think of a river, you might imagine a mighty body of water. But most miles of river are small headwater streams. 35% of these streams dry out during the year. University of Arkansas scientists are studying how these small streams affect lakes & reservoirs: news.uark.edu/articles/66251…
An airplane wing for electrons? Scientists UC Riverside have designed it! When electrons travel around bends, they heat up. With the electrofoil, researchers can take images of the contortion, compression, and expansion of streamlines of electric currents: news.ucr.edu/articles/2023/…
Earth's soils have 3 times more carbon than its atmosphere. That makes soil an important tool for addressing climate change. Researchers Rice University are studying how minerals form in watersheds and how that affects carbon storage in soil: news.rice.edu/news/2023/doe-…
#SciencePicOfTheWeek : When it launches, Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope Space Telescope will collect data on more than a billion galaxies. Scientists SLAC helped create a simulation of some of that data to help interpret it & learn more about dark matter. #DarkMatterDay energy.gov/science/articl…
The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer on ISS Research puts the 'astro' in astrophysics! Using the data it collects on cosmic rays and particles, we hope to gain more insight into the nature of dark matter. Find out more about @Energy's work on #DarkMatterDay : energy.gov/podcasts/direc…
It's #DarkMatterDay !
Researchers at Argonne and around the globe are investigating the nature of dark matter and dark energy through large cosmological surveys, particle physics experiments and advanced computing and simulation - bit.ly/3SeG5zc

We didn’t think it was possible.
But the LCLS-II cryoplant that keeps our superconducting accelerator colder than outer space is now even cooler!

Materials that function in extreme conditions - like spacecraft - often use an expensive and long manufacturing technique. The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga & Oak Ridge Lab scientists are working to understand chemical reactions between surfaces & gases to improve these processes: blog.utc.edu/news/2023/09/u…
When you look out a window, you usually expect them to be transparent. But 'smart' windows can tint themselves to block glare. NC State University researchers demonstrated a new material that can also block infrared light to keep a building cooler: news.ncsu.edu/2023/09/new-ma…
Happy #DarkMatterDay ! Learn how researchers from MIT Physics are preparing to use Argonne National Lab's Aurora #exascale supercomputer to shed light on the mysterious nature of dark matter.

So you haven’t picked a #Halloween costume, and the big night is fast approaching. If you’re looking for something a little funny, a little nerdy and sure to impress fellow physics fans, look no further. ⤵️ symmetrymagazine.org/article/octobe…
In the U.S., October 31st is synonymous with the unknown, spooky and strange. While some Americans dress as witches or skeletons, around the world people are celebrating something even more bizarre—dark matter.

If the future is quantum, we need to develop the workforce to support it! A 7 university consortium of Tulane University, UIC News, Spelman College, Southern University, Rensselaer, Arizona State University & Morehouse College is creating an undergraduate quantum engineering curriculum: news.tulane.edu/pr/tulane-univ…
To combat cancer cells, doctors must deliver radioactive isotopes like radium-223 to those cells. To do so takes binding molecules, or chelators. Researchers Oak Ridge Lab identified the strongest chelator for binding radium that has been observed so far: energy.gov/science/ip/art…
No scientific breakthrough stands on its own - it's always building on what came before it. Researchers Cornell University provided critical knowledge of accelerator science to the new LCLS-II user facility SLAC based on their experience with accelerator tech: news.cornell.edu/stories/2023/0…
Finding 10 images among a billion is harder than finding a needle in a haystack. Using artificial intelligence to make that process easier is one of the ways that MSU scientists Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) are using AI to further nuclear & accelerator physics: msutoday.msu.edu/news/2023/acce…
