Massive New Dark Matter Detector Gets Its ‘Eyes’

Photo - Researchers at Brown University assemble an array of photomultiplier tubes for the LUX-ZEPLIN dark matter search experiment. The first of two sets of the photomultiplier arrays arrived Friday at the Sanford Underground Research Facility in South Dakota. (Credit: Nick Dentamaro/Brown University)

Topping Off a Telescope with New Tools to Explore Dark Energy

Photo - Crews at the Mayall Telescope near Tucson, Arizona, lift and install the top-end components for the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument, or DESI. The components, which include a stack of six lenses and other structures or positioning and support, weigh about 12 tons. DESI, scheduled to begin its sky survey next year, is designed to produce the largest 3-D map of the universe and produce new clues about the nature of dark energy.
