How can a photon have momentum?
In this video, Fermilab’s Dr. Don Lincoln shows that the question arises from a misuse of equations and also shows that, when you think about it, it’s not surprising at all. ⤵️

Dark matter is abundant in our universe yet remains a mystery to scientists. Here at SNOLAB, many experiments are looking to learn more about dark matter. Hear from scientists at @queensu, @McDonaldInst, and SNOLAB about the search for dark matter here: theglobeandmail.com/business…

🧲🤔 For centuries, people have been mystified by magnets and wondered how they worked.

😮 Can you believe it’s Friday already? Neither can the @SuperCDMS fridge!
The dilution refrigerator for the SuperCDMS experiment at SNOLAB will cool the silicon and germanium crystals to less than 1 Kelvin to see vibrations from particle interactions. 🧵(1/2)

The @SuperCDMS experiment marked a big step forward with one-quarter of its detector components undergoing cool testing – literally! A portion of the detector payload is undergoing testing at 15 milliKelvin in the CUTE (Cryogenic Underground TEst) facility for the coming months.

Anne L’Huillier noted it took 30 years to go from fundamental to applied science in this discovery. This had to be funded along the way by multiple institutions and agencies, in order for the discovery to reach the point its applications become clear.

#ICYMI: Do we know how long neutrinos can "live" for? That can depend on your frame of reference, and relativity is complex.
