HTTP:: Dark Matter Detection Device Prototype Created
--------
Though no clear evidence documenting the existence of dark matter was ever produced, astronomers believe it exists because, if not, they simply cannot explain phenomena in the Universe. Since the type of matter was first proposed, a number of years ago, all sorts of instruments have been mounted on telescopes, in an attempt to discover traces of it. In spite of experts' best efforts, only moderate success was achieved, and the existence of dark matter was never proven. Now, a new device, of which a prototype is already finished, promises to finally shed some light on this mystery. Developed by an international team of scientists, based at the University of Zaragoza (UNIZAR), in Spain, and the Institut d'Astrophysique Spatiale (IAS), in France, the new instrument is, its creators say, a “scintillating bolometer.” “One of the biggest challenges in physics today is to discover the true nature of dark matter, which cannot be directly observed â€" even though it seems to m!
ake up one-quarter of the matter of the Universe. So we have to attempt to detect it using prototypes such as the one we have developed,” Eduardo Garcia Abancens, who is a research scientist at the UNIZAR Laboratory of Nuclear Physics and Astroparticles, tells SINC.The new prototype h...
