W hat will it take to detect dark matter—the invisible, nigh-intangible substance that might make up five-sixths of all matter in the universe? Dark matter should be all around ...

Detecting dark matter particles and understanding their underlying physics is a long-standing research goal for many ...

Detecting dark matter, the elusive type of matter predicted to account for most of the universe's mass, has so far proved to ...

The world's most sensitive detector of its kind has found no sign of dark matter. New results from the LUX-ZEPLIN detector, announced today at the TeV Particle Astrophysics conference in Chicago ...

is one of the world’s most damaging constructions of dark matter detectors. Its remote, protected site shields the experiment from interference due to cosmic rays and background radiation and provides ...

Cosmic rays coming from outside the Solar System bring these particles closer to the Sun, where they experience changes ...

A compact method of detecting neutrinos provides new tests of physics theories and could lead to new reactor-monitoring methods.

Featuring the world’s largest digital camera, the Vera C. Rubin Observatory will capture these mysterious phenomena in more ...

The dark matter detectors currently operating are so technologically sophisticated as to resemble Fabergé eggs constructed for the delectation of future archaeologists. One of them, the two ...

These two properties of axions mean that they are exceptionally good at collapsing down to incredibly high densities, pulled ...

Yet despite researchers’ best efforts over decades to work out the nature of this “dark matter” – to find some clue direct or indirect as to what it’s made of, or even make it in the lab ...
