Scientists Have a New Tool to Detect Hidden Dark Matter: Plain Ol’ Sugar

The aptly named SWEET project was developed by a team of researchers to use sugar crystals for detecting hypothetical light dark matter particles.

While dark matter continues to elude us—even massive detectors have failed to pick up any signals—there must be some element or substance that will finally be able to prove the existence of what is otherwise invisible. Is it found deep in the Earth? Or in the bowels of a lab where it must be painstakingly synthesized?

***The brightest cosmic radio flash ever seen has been traced to a nearby galaxy, offering the clearest view yet of one of astronomy’s biggest mysteries.***   An international team of astronomers, including researchers from the University of Toronto, has detected the most luminous Fast Radio Burst (FRB) ever recorded. By combining data from a network of radio telescopes, the scientists successfully pinpointed the burst’s exact location in a nearby galaxy. FRBs are among the most puzzling phenomena in astrophysics, but being able to precisely trace their origins marks a major step forward in understanding where and how these cosmic flashes are produced.

Scientists discover a giant 'gravity hole' in the Indian Ocean, and now they know the cause

The Indian Ocean Geoid Low ranks as the largest negative "gravity hole" anomaly on Earth, which is why the “thumbprint” jumps out on maps.

Earth carries an invisible ocean “water level” called the geoid. If only gravity and rotation shaped the oceans, the surface would match that geoid everywhere. However, south of India, the geoid sinks sharply.
