Dark Matter featured at the “Exploratorium After Dark”
April 28, 2022
On April 28, fifteen members of the van Bibber research group created an exhibition on the search for dark matter at the popular Thursday evening series “The Exploratorium After Dark” in San Francisco. The group’s research, the evidence for dark matter and experimental search strategies were on display via multiple plasma screens, posters, and hands-on demonstrations of the microwave technology employed in their experiments looking for the axion. Group alumna Maria Simanovskaia, currently a postdoc at Stanford University, gave one of two lectures during the evening on her own work hunting for dark matter. As one of the first in person events after the pandemic, the evening was a great success, drawing more than 900 attendees
