A new unified theory connects two fundamental domains of modern quantum physics: It joins two opposite views of how a single ...

Physicists have unveiled a new way to simulate a mysterious form of dark matter that can collide with itself but not with ...

If dark matter is made from "dark" versions of the basic building blocks of ordinary matter, the world's largest particle accelerator should be able to pin it down, a new study suggests. When you ...

A phase change in the early universe and particles called HYPERs could make dark matter detectable in future experiments. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate ...

Our best model of particle physics explains only about 5 percent of the universe. The Standard Model is a thing of beauty. It is the most rigorous theory of particle physics, incredibly precise and ...

In 1933, astronomer Fritz Zwicky noticed something strange: The universe seemed to have ‘missing mass.’ Something had to account for the space in between cosmic bodies and the gravitational forces ...

Pearl Sandick is an assistant professor of physics at the University of Utah, where she teaches a graduate course in general relativity. Her research interests include dark matter and supersymmetry.

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” ...

"WIMPs are still the leading candidate for dark matter, but billions of dollars of experiments have been done, only getting ...

The particle in question, known as a sterile neutrino, was supposed to only interact with gravity and have zero interactions ...
