This new satellite is on a mission straight out of ‘Star Trek’
From CNN, July 12, 2018: Fermilab scientist Don Lincoln discusses the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite, which was launched atop a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket. Its extended goal is to identify approximately 20,000 planets around nearby star systems.
We asked celeb physicist Brian Cox about flat Earth conspiracies, the multiverse and ghosts
From Gizmodo, July 11, 2018: Physicist Brian Cox gives a shout-out to Muon g-2.
Did dark matter have a chilling effect on the early universe?
From Physics World, July 10, 2018: Fermilab scientist Dan Hooper comments on new research that lends further support to the idea that a detection of surprisingly strong absorption by primordial hydrogen gas, reported earlier this year, could be evidence of dark matter.
For the first time, an elusive ghost particle blasted from deep space is seen on Earth
From Mashable, July 12, 2018: Josh Frieman is mentioned in this article on the IceCube experiment, which caught sight of a neutrino sent into space by a black hole, known as a blazar, marking the first detection of its kind in history.

Diversifying the dark matter portfolio
From APS News, July 2018: Scientists are looking down a number of avenues for dark matter. Fermilab’s Daniel Bowring and Dan Hooper discuss the search, and members of SuperCDMS, ADMX and other collaborations are on the hunt.
The Standard Model of physics is a tyrant
From Scientific American, July 5, 2018: This editorial weighs in on the latest result from the MiniBooNE experiment. The author says that, while winning experiments may soon give us clarity, at this time there is no resolution to the sterile neutrino question.
In a cosmic first, scientists detect ‘ghost particles’ from a distant galaxy
From The Washington Post, July 12, 2018: At the IceCube experiment at Earth’s South Pole, 5,160 sensors buried more than a mile beneath the ice detected a single ghostly neutrino as it interacted with an atom. Scientists then traced the particle back to the galaxy that created it.
The cosmic achievement is the first time scientists have detected a high-energy neutrino and been able to pinpoint where it came from.
