The averaged null energy condition, or ANEC, is a fundamental bound on negative energy in quantum field theory. It has applications ranging from black holes to quantum information to the 3D Ising model,…
The idea that dark matter is nothing more than a “heavy neutrino” that froze out after reheating has long been a seductive one. Indirect detection experiments are just now entering an era where the simplest candidate…
After the first waves of gravitational-wave detections, it often seems as though we are left with more questions than answers. The hope of finding "one formation channel to rule them all" has given way to "one…
Small-scale dark matter structures provide an important window into primordial density fluctuations and the microphysical properties of dark matter. Deviations from the standard LCDM model can significantly alter the…
The number of eclipsing binary and multiple systems observed by large, high quality photometric surveys is downright staggering: with OGLE setting the standard, Kepler and TESS leading the way in photometric…
