In its field of view, Kepler looked over 150,000 stars, seeking to detect the slight dimming during transits as planets passed in front of their stars.
A variety of experiments, set up underground to shield them from other effects, are seeking to detect such "weakly interacting massive particles," or WIMPs, as the Earth moves through the dark matter that may exist in the Milky Way Galaxy.
Around the country, police departments and prosecutors have become increasingly reliant on DNA technology, seeking to detect the presence of DNA on evidence and figuring out ways to use it in criminal trials, several analysts said.
The names of retired city employees, when linked to pension amounts, were in the past analyzed by policy groups and news organizations seeking to detect potential pension abuses or to understand the growth of pension spending.
He says DAMPE will complement other space-based detectors as well as underground laboratories seeking to detect WIMPs directly.
Experiments seeking to detect rare event interactions such as dark matter or coherent elastic neutrino nucleus scattering are striving for large mass detectors with very low detection threshold.
He says more compelling support for the current dark matter theory could come from studies seeking to detect the predicted invisible clumps of dark matter as they bend the light of distant quasars.
Thus, Belczynski's team concludes that if Cygnus X-1 is representative of future black hole-neutron star binaries, observers seeking to detect gravitational waves should not expect to see them from mergers of such systems.
Importantly, by reflecting upon our existence and seeking to detect the meaning of life's moments, we also create opportunities to draft our life's legacy, albeit as a work in progress, before it is our time to die and experience what Socrates said "may be the greatest of all human blessings".
Fecal tests (e.g. occult blood test-FOBT and Fecal altered DNA tests) seeking to detect presence of colorectal tumors are available as a pre-colonoscopy test [ 6- 9].
