King’s physicists closer to finding truth behind dark matter

Research from Malcolm Fairbarin, Doddy Marsh and collaborators suggests a new approach to locate axions, a ‘wonder particle’ that could explain both dark energy and dark matter.

First theorised in 1977, these hypothetical, light-mass particles could make up as much as 85% of mass in the Universe.

King’s physicists in £7.7 million grant to develop metamaterials

King’s physicists are part of a new grant to develop materials that change their properties at rapid speeds, enabling greater control over sound and light waves. These metamaterials could transform fields such as telecommunications, information processing, imaging and quantum technologies.
