First results from the OSQAR photon regeneration experiment: No light shining through a wall
read the original abstract
A new method to amplify the photon-axion conversions in magnetic field is proposed using a buffer gas at a specific pressure. As a first result, new bounds for mass and coupling constant for purely laboratory experiments aiming to detect any hypothetical scalars and pseudo-scalars which can couple to photons were obtained at 95% confidence level, excluding the PVLAS result newly disclaimed.

Neutron Star Eclipses as Axion Laboratories
Using eclipse attenuation in the LMC X-4 neutron star binary, the authors set g_aγ ≤ 1.44 × 10^{-10} GeV^{-1} at 90% CL, surpassing current light-shining-through-walls bounds.

Detectability of axion-like dark matter for different time-delay interferometry combinations in space-based gravitational wave detectors
Monitor and Beacon TDI combinations reach g_aγ ~ 10^{-13} GeV^{-1} at high frequencies while Sagnac performs better at low frequencies, with ASTROD-GW probing axion-like dark matter masses down to 10^{-20} eV.
