What Does a Dark Matter Detector Actually Measure?
On 26 August 2026, two kilometres under Ontario, SuperCDMS began collecting its first scientific data. No detector can see dark matter. What it measures is heat and charge, two numbers…

For thirty years supersymmetry was the safe bet for what comes after the Standard Model. It predicted a heavier partner for every known particle, it solved several deep problems at…
Between early 2025 and mid-2026, quantum processors have gone from simulating toy models of particle physics to watching confinement, string breaking, and hadron scattering play out in real time. These…
A fourth neutrino that feels no weak force explained thirty years of anomalies. MicroBooNE excluded it at 95% confidence and KATRIN found no kink in 36 million electrons. The eV-scale…
The theory rests on nineteen numbers no one can derive from anything deeper, and it has survived every test aimed at it, including the two anomalies that were supposed to…
Cosmology's bound has fallen beneath the floor oscillations impose. One of the two pictures is wrong.
