Axions are hypothetical light particles that could solve two different physics problems, as they could explain why some ...

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 ...

What is the nature of dark matter? A new experiment led by Columbia University physics professors aims to find out.

Physicists have spent decades chasing two grand technological dreams: harnessing fusion power and uncovering the nature of ...

Located deep under the Gran Sasso mountain in Italy, 25 crystals are sealed inside a copper box and surrounded by concrete made from the mountain’s rocks. The intricate installation is a particle ...

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 ...

Although science often advances through tried-and-tested methods, sometimes scientists have to find creative ways to test ...

The next generation of dark matter detectors has arrived. A massive new effort to detect the elusive substance has reported its first results. Following a time-honored tradition of dark matter hunters ...

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 ...

Ms. Covey Denton presented experiments on ENC At Three with host Baileigh Bockover that you can recreate at home.

The world’s most sensitive dark matter detector still hasn’t found evidence of weakly interacting massive particles, or WIMPs, but the search continues. LZ’s central detector, the time projection ...

The hilarious and food-loving Raphael Gomes tests science experiments made from pantry items to see which are worth trying at ...
