Fusion power has long been sold as the technology that could light our cities with the same process that powers the stars.

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

An Antarctic experiment looking to detect dark matter in space led by University of Hawaii Manoa was launched on Dec. 15.

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

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

Dark matter is an elusive type of matter that does not emit, absorb or reflect light, interacting very weakly with ordinary ...

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 ...

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 ...

Scientists have just slashed the potential hiding spaces for dark matter particles. The LUX-ZEPLIN, or LZ, experiment has searched for and ruled out the existence of dark matter particles with a wide ...

Andrea Gallo Rosso is a member of the ALPHA collaboration. He receives funding from the Swedish Research Council. Several experiments have aimed to unveil what it’s made of, but despite decades of ...

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 ...

Have you ever stood by the sea and been overwhelmed by its vastness, by how quickly it could roll in and swallow you? Evidence suggests that we are suspended in a cosmic sea of dark matter, a ...
