A team of astronomers say they've made the first ever detection of dark matter by examining gamma rays near the center of the ...
Physicists using near-absolute-zero detectors have reached unprecedented sensitivity in the hunt for light dark matter. A ...
A new type of sensor that levitates dozens of glass microparticles could revolutionize the accuracy and efficiency of sensing ...
For nearly a century, something unseen has tugged at the cosmos. In the 1930s, Swiss astronomer Fritz Zwicky noticed galaxies ...
His analysis points to a possible signal from hypothetical particles known as weakly interacting massive particles. These particles, often called wimps, are a leading candidate for dark matter. They ...
The new study reports the detection of a mysterious halo-like glow of gamma rays around the Milky Way, peaking sharply at ...
Researchers of the University of Helsinki have resolved for the first time, how the ultrafine particles of atmosphere effect on the climate and health. Atmospheric air pollution kills more than 10,000 ...
A doctoral student travels to Washington to explain the enigma of neutrinos, particles that are as strange as they are ...
Long tubes, strong magnets, and bright lasers. Is that all it takes to entice the shyest particles in the universe to reveal themselves? Physicists working on the ALPS II experiment certainly hope so, ...
The Standard Model of particles and interactions is remarkably successful for a theory everyone knows is missing big pieces. It accounts for the everyday stuff we know like protons, neutrons, ...
Magnetic 'quasiparticles' called magnons may help scientists detect dark matter. Since the 1980s, researchers have been running experiments in search of particles that make up dark matter, an ...
