Starlink is the Only Communications Link for Some Ukrainian Towns, but the Terminals Could Also be a Target
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has led to an outpouring of support and material aid from the international community.

If Axions are Dark Matter, we've got new Hints About Where to Look for Them
If dark matter is out there, and it certainly seems to be, then what could it possibly be? That is perhaps the biggest mystery of dark matter. The only known particles that match the requirement of having mass and not interacting strongly with light are neutrinos. But neutrinos have low mass and zip through the cosmos at nearly the speed of light. They are a form of “hot” dark matter, so they don’t match the observed data that require dark matter to be “cold.” With neutrinos ruled out, cosmologists look toward various hypothetical particles we haven’t discovered, and perhaps the most popular of these are known as axions.
