Deep under a mountain in Italy, researchers continue to push the boundaries of science with an experiment that could rewrite ...

How did the universe come into being? There are a multitude of theories on this subject. In a Physical Review Letters paper, ...

A gamma ray glow at our galaxy’s center has puzzled scientists for almost two decades. New computer simulations back the ...

Scientists are nearing completion on the Southern Hemisphere's first dark matter detector, deep underground in the Stawell Gold Mine in regional Victoria. The experiment, known as SABRE South, will ...

MIT researchers have devised a new molecular technique that lets electrons probe inside atomic nuclei, replacing massive particle accelerators with a tabletop setup. By studying radium monofluoride, ...

Professor Chamkaur Ghag is driving efforts to detect weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs), the prime candidates for dark matter.

Physicists have been chasing one of the universe’s strangest mysteries—neutrinos, nearly invisible particles that zip through ...

In 1998, researchers working deep beneath Italy's Gran Sasso Mountain made a remarkable discovery. They detected what could be dark matter — a hypothetical particle that has eluded scientists since it ...

We have more satellites than ever before, but when they burn up they create a new kind of air pollution. Evidence is now ...

Physicists at MIT have developed a new way to probe inside an atom's nucleus, using the atom's own electrons as "messengers" ...
