Did you know there's a dark side to the particles of light we encounter daily? Scientists have achieved a remarkable feat in detecting them.
— the particles of light we encounter daily — using superconducting radio frequency cavities.
The theoretical concept of dark photons suggests the existence of particles in the dark sector with mass, akin to the differences between familiar particles like electrons, muons, and taus. The Dark SRF experiment demonstrated unprecedented sensitivity by using two SRF cavities as the key components for experiment.Significantly, it was also the first time SRF cavities —in this case, made from hollow chunks of niobium— were used to carry out such an experiment.
This is because the sensitivity to the mass of these mysterious particles is directly linked to the frequency of regular photons stored in one of the SRF cavities.

Scientists record heat paints the story of a warming worldNearly every major climate-tracking organization proclaimed June the hottest June ever. Then July 4 became the globe’s hottest day, albeit unofficially, according to the University of Maine’s Climate Reanalyzer. It was quickly overtaken by July 5 and July 6. Next came the hottest week, a tad more official, stamped into the books by the World Meteorological Organization and the Japanese Meteorological Agency.
