Jupiter as a Dark Matter Detector
Although dark matter makes up over 80% of the total matter content of the Universe, we have yet to detect it. Today’s author’s bring a new approach to the search effort that uses Jupiter as a dark matter detector.

The origin of dim supernovae known as Ca-rich transients is still not well-understood. Could it be that these rare events are set off by an encounter between a white dwarf and a primordial black hole?
This black hole could have been born without any bright supernova explosion, emitting nothing but a few neutrinos in its formation. Find out how we can tell in today’s paper!
Check out the fresh BREAD results! Researchers show that the innovative design of the Broadband Experiment for Axion Detection could pave a promising path forward in the search for dark matter.
Is it possible to detect the environments around compact binary mergers observed with LIGO-Virgo? The authors of today’s paper explore!
The first (and last) time we observed neutrinos from a supernova was 40 years ago. Are we ready to understand what the next supernova neutrino will tell us?
