Research and Events Highlights

First results from BREAD experiment demonstrate a new approach to searching for dark matter

A new experiment by a collaboration led by the University of Chicago and Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, known as the Broadband Reflector Experiment for Axion Detection or BREAD, has released its first results in the search for dark matter in a study published in Physical Review Letters. Though they did not find dark matter, they narrowed the constraints for where it might be and demonstrated a unique approach that may speed up the search for the mysterious substance, at relatively little space and cost.

PI Spotlight: Andrzej Joachimiak

Andrzej’s current research focuses on proteins and protein-nucleic acid interactions and includes enzymes, transcription factors and molecular chaperones.
