Do you know which are the most abundant particles in the universe? It is neutrinos — small, chargeless, and nearly massless subatomic particles that either don’t interact with matter at all or ...

Following over a decade of planning, construction of a new dark matter detection experiment is almost complete. The new ...

Dark matter is claimed to make up over 80% of all matter in the universe, but scientists have never seen it. We only assume it exists because, without it, the behavior of stars, planets and galaxies ...

AUSTIN (KXAN) — The most sensitive dark matter detector in the world is showing results in the hunt for the hypothetical particle. The results: they can’t find it. “If you think of the search for dark ...

The nature of dark matter is one of the leading mysteries in modern astronomy. In fact, the name "dark matter" is essentially a placeholder for something astronomers know is there but can't yet ...

Results from the LUX-ZEPLIN experiment, co-founded by UC Santa Barbara physicists, mark a major step in defining what dark matter can — and cannot — be ...

The world's most sensitive table-top interferometric system—a miniature version of miles-long gravitational-wave detectors ...

Deep underground in an old gold mine in regional Victoria, scientists enter a worldwide race to understand the composition of ...

Professor Chamkaur Ghag is driving efforts to detect weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs), the prime candidates for ...

A panel of physicists and astronomers will preview emerging theories and experiments aimed at solving the mystery of dark energy, an invisible force that dominates the universe, from 1:45 to 4:45 p.m.

In their search for dark matter, scientists from the XENON Collaboration are using one of the world's most sensitive dark ...
