Hunting for Dark Matter with Atomic Clocks in Space
![Sensitivity projections for detecting dark matter interactions, achieved through comparisons between space- and ground-based clocks, demonstrate that missions like ACES, those operating on the International Space Station, and the proposed FOCOS mission can probe a range of dark matter masses-extending beyond current bounds established by MICROSCOPE, SNG, and BBN-with sensitivity limited by factors such as atmospheric reflection, satellite shielding, and the breakdown of low-momentum approximations at higher masses, as determined by fractional phase and frequency uncertainties of [latex]\delta t / \Delta t = 7 \times 10^{-{17}}[/latex] and stability parameters of [latex]\sigma_{y}(10^{6})[/latex] and [latex]\sigma_{y}(10^{7})[/latex].](https://arxiv.org/html/2601.16259v1/x6.png)
A new approach proposes leveraging the precision of orbiting quantum clocks to detect the elusive influence of ultralight dark matter on the fabric of spacetime.

10 Worst Pokémon Mega Evolutions of All Time, Ranked
Honestly, as a fan, one of my biggest gripes with Mega Evolutions and similar things is that a lot of them just don’t feel different enough from the original Pokémon. Some of the worst ones barely seem like new designs at all! Yeah, the stat boosts are cool, but they’re not really what I remember – I want to be excited by how a Pokémon looks when it evolves, and a lot of these just fall flat.

Why Baelor Targaryen Has Dark Hair & How It Sets Up Jon Snow Not Becoming King in Game of Thrones
What really struck me about Baelor is his dark hair. It’s a cool change from the usual silver-blonde hair we see on characters with Valyrian ancestry – and honestly, a relief that the actor, Bertie Carvel, didn’t have to rely on wigs or dye! Apparently, Baelor’s mother was Dornish – Myriah Martell – and he inherited her coloring. It’s neat to see that reflected, especially since his brother, Maekar, does have the typical Valyrian silver hair in the show.
