Did the LUX-ZEPLIN Experiment Detect a Dark Matter Particle?
9+ hour, 6+ min ago (237+ words) A single particle interaction could be a signal from a dark matter candidate, though further study is needed. For the better part of a century, people have been trying to understand dark matter. This invisible substance makes up roughly 85% of…...
UT Scientists Help Measure Universe’s Expansion with Gravitational Waves
3+ mon, 6+ day ago (177+ words) An era of precision gravitational astronomy has arrived, and UT physicists are helping lead the way. The LIGO–Virgo–KAGRA Collaboration detected these 161 gravitational wave events between April 2024 and the end of January 2025. Each yellow curve represents the rapid shift…...
A Night at the Telescope
5+ mon, 3+ week ago (300+ words) The Harlan J. Smith Scholars program involves astronomy undergraduates in observing on a major telescope. The University of Texas at Austin offers unmatched opportunities for undergraduates to conduct research firsthand — for some, as soon as their freshman year. Situated within the…...
Reel Science: Fireball

More Dark Star Candidates Found in JWST Data
11+ mon, 1+ day ago (328+ words) A growing list of dark star candidates could help explain why some early galaxies were so big, so early in the universe. The first stars in the universe formed out of pristine hydrogen and helium clouds, in the first few…...
Stephen Hawking Was Right: Black Holes Always Grow in Area
11+ mon, 3+ week ago (264+ words) As gravitational wave astronomy turns 10, an international consortium that includes physicists from The University of Texas at Austin is revealing the best observational evidence captured to date for what is known as the black hole area theorem. The idea, put…...
