Researchers propose a new theory for the origin of dark matter, the invisible substance thought to give the universe its shape and structure. Their mathematical models show that dark matter could ...

Tachyons are a type of hypothetical particle, meaning their existence remains a matter of speculation. The tachyon is also proposed to be superliminal, meaning it always travels faster than light.

Without the Higgs boson to give matter mass and weight, there could be no Standard Model universe. The particle is part of many theoretical equations underpinning scientists’ understanding of ...

New measurement of wobbling muons back up previous findings – potentially challenging the Standard Model of Particle Physics.

Despite proliferating the universe, dark matter has remained elusive. Scientists are starting to think that’s because it’s made of “fuzzy” little axions.

A team led by a physicist from City University of Hong Kong (CityU) recently developed a new quantum theory that explains the "light-induced phase" of matter and predicts its novel functionalities ...

A new model for dark matter suggests an early universe phase transition and candidate particles known as HYPERs could finally shed light on this mysterious matter.

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.

If a dark matter particle hits a nucleus in a crystal, it should create a tiny flash. That flash will then be amplified so it can be picked up by a series of globes inside the detector.

Well, since dark matter is thought to be all around us, we can build detectors right here on Earth. And, luckily, the theory that predicts axions also predicts that axions can convert into photons ...
