Dark matter is an elusive type of matter that does not emit, absorb or reflect light, interacting very weakly with ordinary matter. These characteristics make it impossible to detect using ...

Researchers at the University of Tokyo and Chuo University have proposed a strategy to identify light dark matter using a ...

Over the past decades, many research teams worldwide have been trying to detect dark matter, an elusive type of matter that does not emit, reflect or absorb light, using a variety of highly sensitive ...

Dark matter is believed to make up most of the matter in the universe, yet it has never been directly detected. One theory suggests it may be composed of extremely light particles, so light they ...

Canon has developed a new 3.2-megapixel single photon avalanche diode (SPAD) image sensor that can take color photographs in the dark, according to Nikkei Asia. It’s due to go into production next ...

In brief: While manufacturers have been able to cram many millions of pixels into tiny smartphone camera sensors and improve their sensitivity, Canon made a new type of sensor that's particularly ...

The 'spooky action at a distance' that once unnerved Einstein may be on its way to being as pedestrian as the gyroscopes that currently measure acceleration in smartphones. The "spooky action at a ...
