What it’s like to run the world’s best dark matter detector
Chamkaur Ghag is on a mission to find the 85 per cent of the universe’s matter that we haven’t yet identified. He details his hopes for the major scientific experiment – and what the future could hold

Texas right now: 32% solar, 23% wind.
With nuclear, that's 61.6% zero-carbon right now, in Texas.

New one (for me) at conference this morning: mainstream economist in the audience said that climate adaptation should be done by mass migration to northern regions that "benefit" from climate impacts.
Readers: I fucking lost it.
