Hints of lightweight dark matter particle found in space

Hints of a lightweight dark matter particle have been found in the gamma-ray glow at the Milky Way’s heart. The particle’s apparent mass lines up with tentative signals of dark matter in two direct-detection experiments on Earth, but other researchers caution that conventional sources – such as pulsars – may be responsible for the gamma-ray light instead.

Physics Online project submission Experiment

Students of Kendriya Vidyalaya Pattom created their first Online Physics Project blog at http://kvphysics.blogspot.com

The teachers found this an effective way of submission and evaluation of data collection projects, which help the students getting trained in effect online content writing and blogging as well as the subject topic of interest.

The students submitted their projects on

• String Theory and GUT
• Superconductivity
• Big Bang Theory
• LHC
• Special Theory of Relativity and
• General Theory of relativity

The students who didn’t have easy access to Computers and Internet at home were given the option to submit the project in a file or CD.

Based on the success of this venture more such innovations are expected.
