Determining the nature of dark matter, the invisible substance that makes up most of the mass in our universe, is one of the ...

An unusual astronomical image of a distant galaxy could reveal the presence of a mysterious substance that makes up the ...

The LUX-ZEPLIN detector is breaking new ground in the hunt for dark matter, setting unprecedented limits on WIMP particles.

Astronomers studying a rare Einstein Cross stumbled upon an impossible “fifth image” that shouldn’t exist — and it revealed ...

Results from the LUX-ZEPLIN experiment, co-founded by UC Santa Barbara physicists, mark a major step in defining what dark matter can — and cannot — be ...

Astronomers have traced the hidden fingerprints of dark matter by observing rare, glowing galaxies that lived in the early universe. A group of scientists led by Rutgers University has found new ...

Dark matter is a type of matter that does not emit, absorb, or reflect light, making it invisible to telescopes. Israeli scientists have outlined a groundbreaking method to study dark matter, ...

Scientists propose a bold new dark matter candidate: the superheavy, charged gravitino, detectable in experiments like JUNO and DUNE.

In experiments at the Brookhaven National Lab in the U.S., an international team of physicists has detected the heaviest “anti-nuclei” ever seen. The tiny, short-lived objects are composed of exotic ...

Ultrafine dark matter, millions of times lighter than electrons, could flow through the cosmos in waves. We might just have an easy way to check for tiny interactions between this dark matter and the ...

The hunt for dark matter, the invisible substance shaping 27% of the universe's mass, has reached a decisive moment, ...
