The neutrino “fog” is beginning to materialize. Lightweight subatomic particles called neutrinos have begun elbowing their way into the data of experiments not designed to spot them. Two experiments, ...

A research team from the Institute of Physics in Hanoi is collaborating with more than 1,000 scientists worldwide to ...

The world’s most sensitive dark matter detector still hasn’t found evidence of weakly interacting massive particles, or WIMPs, but the search continues. LZ’s central detector, the time projection ...

One of the great mysteries of modern science is dark matter. We know dark matter exists thanks to its effects on other objects in the cosmos, but we have never been able to directly see it. And it s ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Scientists have inched a step closer to solving an enduring mystery in physics — why the universe contains any matter at all — ...

Dark matter is claimed to make up over 80% of all matter in the universe, but scientists have never seen it. We only assume it exists because, without it, the behavior of stars, planets and galaxies ...

The latest dark matter experiment kicks off this week, as physicists aim to identify the universe's most enigmatic particles. Reading time 2 minutes Long tubes, strong magnets, and bright lasers. Is ...

Researchers at European XFEL, Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR), Rostock University and other collaborating institutions have used high-precision experiments to demonstrate that the most ...

A group of undergraduate students pulled off something remarkable: they built their own dark matter detector and used it to probe one of physics’ biggest mysteries. Working with limited resources but ...

A ghost is haunting our universe. This has been known in astronomy and cosmology for decades. Observations suggest that about 85 percent of all the matter in the universe is mysterious and invisible.

You can gaze upward at night to see a veritable ocean of stars, but the visible parts of the universe are just a fraction of the total. The rest, we think, is dark matter and dark energy, which are by ...
