Primordial black holes (PBHs) are viable candidates for dark matter. The microlensing of stars is a powerful method to constrain their abundance. Imaging Air Cherenkov Telescopes (IACTs), which are designed for gamma-ray astronomy, also provide outstanding optical capabilities with sampling speeds of $\ll 1\,$s. This work investigates, whether IACTs can access the unexplored PBH mass window of...

Mineral specimens recovered from meteorites or impact sites on Earth typically exhibit shock metamorphic effects, providing insights into past impact events within the solar system. Simulating impacts by diamond anvil cells in slow motion, we perform compression experiments on quartz to better understand the formation of natural impact effects.
