Primordial Black Holes as a dark matter candidate
Diverse astrophysical and cosmological observations indicate that most of the matter in the Universe is cold, dark and non-baryonic. Traditionally the most popular dark matter candidates have been new elementary particles, such as WIMPs and axions.

Bacterial suspensions as model active matter systems
This talk will show that bacterial suspensions, beyond their intrinsic, dominating importance in biology, are also excellent systems to explore and test theoretical results on active matter , I will present recent experimental results on dense

First Results from the LZ Dark Matter Experiment
The fundamental nature of our universe is still mostly unknown: 84% of the matter in the universe is dark and qualitatively different to everything we understand via the Standard Model. Terrestrial experiments devoted to detecting inte

Astronomers reach new frontiers of dark matter
Astronomers have mapped dark matter on the largest scale ever observed. The School's Dr Catherine Heymans and Associate Professor Ludovic Van Waerbeke of the University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada, will present the results today to the
Controlling space and time in active matter
We will begin to consider simple active matter models, e.g., self-propelled hard spheres, and then tackle more realistic models. ... arXiv (2025). Learning protocols for the fast and efficient control of active matter Casert, C et al.

Dark matter , collider searches and the early Universe
Studies of dark matter lie at the interface of collider physics, astrophysics and cosmology. We will first review dark matter direct and indirect detection constraints together with the relic density and discuss in some detail their uncertainties.
