Researchers from the University of Adelaide warn that global warming could cause octopuses to lose their vision, impacting their survival and reproductive success. Heat stress from climate change may lead to increased deaths of pregnant octopus mothers and their unborn young, posing significant ramifications for the species, despite their high adaptability.
Researchers at the University of Adelaide, in collaboration with scientists from the Jefferson Laboratory in the US, have conducted a study exploring the potential effects of dark photons on experimental results from deep inelastic scattering processes. Dark photons are hypothetical particles that could serve as a connection between dark matter and regular matter. The team's analysis suggests that the dark photon hypothesis is preferred over the standard model hypothesis, providing evidence for a particle discovery. Understanding dark matter, which makes up 84% of the matter in the universe, remains a significant challenge for physicists.
