It was an exciting discovery while it lasted, but fresh observations show that evidence for a valuable insight into the nature of dark matter was, quite literally, a trick of the light.Three years ago, a team of cosmologists, primarily from Durham University in the UK, reported that observations from the Hubble Telescope revealed a galaxy that had become separated from its own dark matter.

David R. Liu is an inventor on a winning streak. As a young chemist, he quickly mastered techniques for studying life's most complex molecules and then turned to altering the building blocks of life itself. He repurposed the genetic code of DNA to create large libraries of small molecules for drug screening and created a system for engineering new proteins that's at least 100 times as fast as prev Read More
