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

The latest experiment also represents the first time the LZ team applied a technique called “salting,” in which false WIMP signals were added in advance. This helped the researchers—who, of course, ...

Scientists are using trapped ions in cutting-edge experiments to hunt for signs of an undiscovered particle that might help ...

Scientists are on the trail of a mysterious five-particle structure that could challenge one of the biggest theories in ...

Explore the fundamental concept of matter in physics, everything that makes up the physical world around us. Matter is not ...

For nearly a century, scientists around the world have been searching for dark matter - an invisible substance believed to make up about 80 percent of ...

Experts were running a test to see how some of the most mysterious singularities in the universe worked. They can change physics forever with the discovery.

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has produced a new image of the Bullet Cluster, which is a titanic collision between ...

The ATLAS collaboration finds evidence of Higgs-boson decays to muons and improves sensitivity to Higgs-boson decays to a Z ...

Two studies fill in gaps about the cosmos’s ordinary matter. One maps it all, even the “missing matter.” The other details one of its hiding spots.

It is possible to make a material emit more radiation than it absorbs, violating the laws of physics in a way that could make ...
