It is assumed that an undiscovered “fifth force” likely exists between neutrons in an atom’s nucleus and the electrons ...

If a dark matter particle crashes into the nucleus of a xenon atom, the experiments can detect that nucleus recoiling in response, revealing dark matter’s presence. But neutrinos can also slam ...

The LZ experiment (pictured) found no evidence of hypothetical dark matter particles called WIMPs in its initial search, but it’s already the most sensitive such hunt reported.

In fact, scientists have spent decades trying to force matter from absolutely nothing. And now, they’ve managed to prove that a theory first shared 70 years ago was correct, and we really can ...

Despite the fact that dark matter outnumbers the amount of ordinary matter in our universe by about six times, scientists don't know what it is. That's at least partly because no experiment ...

Right now, scientists are busily designing and constructing similarly complicated experiments, for detecting dark matter right here on Earth. Surprisingly, some of the most advanced astronomical ...
