Perez-Gonzalez, and Jessica TurnerIf dark matter interacts with the Standard Model only gravitationally its abundance in the universe could be explained by the evaporation of primordial black holes (PBH) through Hawking radiation which “democratically” emits all existing particles. In these two papers, the authors study this scenario in great detail, significantly improving on previous calculations, and eventually include also interactions with the Standard Model. One curious observation is the strong dependence of the necessary density of PBH on the spin of the dark matter particles. [Phys. Rev. D 105, 015023] Published Fri Jan 21, 2022

An international team of researchers with key participation from the PRISMA+Cluster of Excellence at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) and the Helmholtz Institute Mainz (HIM) has published for the first time comprehensive data on the search for dark matter using a worldwide network of optical magnetometers.

Analysis of data from a one-month continuous GNOME operation has not yet yielded a corresponding indication. However, the measurement allows the formulation of constraints on the characteristics of dark matter, as the researchers report in the journal Nature Physics.

In recent years, a phenomenon called the quantum Hall effect has emerged as a platform for hosting exotic features called quasiparticles, with properties that could lead to exciting applications in areas like quantum computing. When a strong magnetic field is applied to a 2D material or gas, the electrons at the interface, unlike the ones within the bulk, are free to move along the edges in what are called edge modes or channels—somewhat similar to highway lanes. This edge movement, which is the essence of the quantum Hall effect, can lead to many interesting properties depending on the material and conditions.

Zeolites, which are crystalline porous materials, are very widely used in the production of chemicals, fuels, materials, and other products.  So far, zeolites have been made as 3D or 2D materials.

A new array of brain sensors can record electrical signals directly from the surface of the human brain in record-breaking detail. The new brain sensors feature densely packed grids of either 1,024 or 2,048 embedded electrocorticography (ECoG) sensors. If approved for clinical use, these sensors would offer surgeons brain-signal information directly from the surface of the brain's cortex in 100 times higher resolution than what is available today. The technology could provide better guidance for planning surgeries to remove brain tumors and surgically treat drug-resistant epilepsy.

How many black holes are out there in the Universe? A new study has investigated the demographics of stellar mass black holes, which are black holes with masses between a few to some hundred solar masses, that originated at the end of the life of massive stars. According to the new piece of research, a remarkable amount around 1% of the overall ordinary matter of the Universe is locked up in stellar mass black holes. Astonishingly, the researchers have found that the number of black holes within the observable Universe (a sphere of diameter around 90 billions light years) at present time is about 40 trillions, 40 billion billions (i.e., about 40 x 1018, i.e. 4 followed by 19 zeros!).
