FSU researchers part of TESSERACT's hunt for dark matter
Tallahassee, FL (SPX) Mar 25, 2025 For decades, people have been trying to directly detect dark matter: the missing mass in our universe. Now, research from the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering is making possible a new, super-sensitive detector - and even though it's still in the research and development phase, it's already been able to search for kinds of dark matter that other detectors can't find. Historically, most dark matter searches have hunted for two kinds of dark matter: ultra-light axions and heavier WIMPs (weakly interac ... read more |

Deep learning model uncovers hidden stellar bubbles in Milky Way
Tokyo, Japan (SPX) Mar 18, 2025 Researchers in Japan have leveraged advanced artificial intelligence to explore the distant regions of our galaxy, revealing previously undetected cosmic structures. Led by Osaka Metropolitan University, the team created a deep learning model capable of sifting through immense datasets from space telescopes, uncovering numerous bubble-like formations absent from existing astronomical records. These structures, commonly referred to as Spitzer bubbles, are prevalent in the Milky Way and other galaxi ... read more
