Dark Matter and Energy

A difference in the behaviour of matter and antimatter has been seen for the first time in the subatomic particles that make up most of the observable Universe, and it might help explain why there is more matter than antimatter in the Universe.

A team of international researchers has developed an innovative approach to uncover the secrets of dark matter in the cosmos. University of Queensland PhD student Ashlee Caddell co-led a study in collaboration with Germany's metrology institute that searched for dark matter using atomic clocks and cavity-stabilized lasers.

A QUT cosmologist is part of the international research team that's published an analysis that shines new light on dark energy and suggests the standard model of how the universe works may need an update.
