This week’s entry covers tests of asymptotic safety from X-ray reflection spectroscopy, a proposal to search for a Planet 9 as a black hole via accretion flares, and the proposal of a chameleonic coupling of the Higgs to the inflaton to stabilize the electroweak vacuum in the early Universe. Enjoy!

This week’s entry features a new proposal by Ed Witten for hunting Planet 9, a study on signatures of scattering between dark energy and visible matter in cosmological observations, and new constraints on light dark matter produced from primordial black hole evaporation. As usual, comments are welcome, and hope you enjoy!
