LIVERMORE, Calif. – Take a gold sample the size of the head of a push pin, shoot a laser through it, and suddenly more than 100 billion particles of anti-matter appear. The anti-matter, also known as ...

Particles similar to axions, the leading candidate for dark matter that has long eluded detection, may have already been ...

The LZ detector will run for at least 1,000 days through 2028, and scientists have now released the data from the first 220 ...

The LUX-ZEPLIN detector is breaking new ground in the hunt for dark matter, setting unprecedented limits on WIMP particles.

Scientists have long embraced the fact that forces beyond sight govern the universe. Dark matter, they think, holds galaxies together with extra gravity, and dark energy drives the universe’s ...

Dark matter remains one of the biggest mysteries in fundamental physics. Many theoretical proposals (axions, WIMPs) and 40 ...

According to measurements by the Max Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics in Heidelberg, the process cut radon concentrations ...

Superheavy charged gravitinos may be the long-sought answer to dark matter. Dark Matter remains one of the biggest mysteries in fundamental physics. Many theoretical proposals (axions, WIMPs) and 40 ...

The universe has cooked up all sorts of bizarre and beautiful forms of matter, from blazing stars to purring cats, out of just three basic ingredients. Electrons and two types of quarks, dubbed “up” ...
