There’s more to the universe than meets the eye, according to information released by SLAC in Menlo Park today. Dark matter, the invisible substance that accounts for 85 percent of the mass in the ...

Australian researchers have played a central role in a landmark result from the LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) experiment in South ...

The XLZD detector will combine the best technologies from projects like LZ, XENONnT, and DARWIN for a next-generation WIMP hunter that can also study neutrinos, the sun, cosmic rays, and other unusual ...

When it comes to primordial black holes being dark matter suspects, their alibi may be falling apart. Tiny black holes, created seconds after the birth of the universe, may survive longer than ...

LUX-ZEPLIN, one of the largest dark matter detectors in the world, is based at the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF) in Lead, South Dakota, nearly a mile underground in a former gold mine.

A mysterious excess of far-ultraviolet light seen across the Milky Way could come from the annihilation of clumpy dark matter ...

In the early 1930s, Swiss astronomer Fritz Zwicky observed galaxies in space moving faster than their mass should allow, prompting him to infer the presence of some invisible scaffolding—dark ...

"If axion clouds, and thereby axions, are discovered, this would be a massive step toward solving the dark matter problem." When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate ...

The universe may have produced dark matter in the first few minutes of the Big Bang, according to new research. Those particles then got trapped into ultradense pockets. Some of those pockets ...
