Record-Setting Dark Matter Detector Comes Up Empty—and That’s Good News

gizmodo.com Gayoung Lee 2025-08-09 03:35:40

WIMPs (weakly interacting massive particles) are one of the most serious contenders for dark matter—the “missing” mass supposedly constituting 85% of our universe.

But the latest results from LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ), the South Dakota-based detector, may have brought scientists a small step closer to catching WIMPs in action. In a recent Physical Review Letters paper, scientists analyzed 280 days’ worth of data from LUX-

Tyr, a new Rust DRM driver targeting CSF-based ARM Mali GPUs

The last year has seen substantial progress on the DRM infrastructure required to write GPU drivers in Rust. While a great part of it was fueled by the development of Nova (the new driver for GSP-based NVIDIA GPUs), and by AGX (the driver for the GPUs on Apple's M-series chip that preceded Nova), a few components were being worked on to cater to a then undisclosed driver that was being prototyped behind the scenes. A driver that we now introduce to the community at large in a very early stage.

New sphere-packing record stems from an unexpected source

The higher the dimension, the greater the number of directions you can stretch your ellipsoid in, and the more options you have for wha
