We can state one thing with confidence: there's more *stuff* in our galaxy than we can see. If the galaxy were only made up of what we see, its gravity would not be strong enough to keep the outer stars from flying away as the galaxy rotates. Therefore, there is plenty of matter that is in our galaxy that we cannot see -- we call it dark matter. To find dark matter, we must create devices that...

We often talk about how a large chunk of our Universe is ‘missing’ in the form of the mysterious dark matter. Indeed it is true that we know very little about the identity of the elusive dark matter particle. But these days thanks to simulations we know a surprising amount about how these particles behave collectively inside galaxies and the strange shadowy creatures they like to form. By...

While we interact with them every day, there’s still a lot we don’t know about photons. Most light sources we deal with emit an enormous number of photons per second. But what if we were able to reduce this down to 1 photon per week? Then what if we start cutting it up into fragments? We take a look at the techniques used to not only produce fractions of photons, but also detect them in the laboratory.
