The latest experiment also represents the first time the LZ team applied a technique called “salting,” in which false WIMP ...

The particle or particles of the dark sector make up the vast majority of the mass of the universe - so to them, we're the ghostly ones. So, we try to make contact with dark matter particles and ...

The original waves. In 1924, French physics doctoral student Louis de Broglie proposed that matter has a wave-like property. De Broglie was inspired by the discovery of wave-particle duality in light.

These particles are thought to be responsible for so-called dark matter, the catch-all term for the 27% of stuff in the universe that has not been directly observed, but whose presence is seen in ...

But axions were pushed aside as the WIMPs hypothesis gained more steam. Back-of-the-envelope calculations showed that the ...

The ancient Greek philosopher Democritus imagined all matter to be made of tiny particles, perfectly solid and totally indivisible. Falling through empty space, these atoms, Democritus believed ...

Using the same detectors, the scientists behind the experiment wanted to test DAMA’s claim that they had detected dark matter particles. Hyun Su Lee, a researcher at the Institute for Basic ...

And while many sophisticated experiments have been searching for WIMPs, no definitive trace has turned up—leading some scientists to wonder if dark matter may be made of something else altogether.

To understand why the universe is made of matter and not antimatter, physicists are looking for a tiny signal in the electron Skip to main content Scientific American ...

While the Broadband Reflector Experiment for Axion Detection (BREAD) developed by the University of Chicago and the U.S. Department of Energy's Fermilab hasn't turned up dark matter particles just ...

The four fundamental states of matter are solid, liquid, gas and plasma, but there others, such as Bose-Einstein condensates and time crystals, that are man-made.

And now, they’ve managed to prove that a theory first shared 70 years ago was correct, and we really can create matter out of absolutely nothing. The universe is made up of several conservation ...
