Physicists are closing in on a strange, hidden influence that does not fit neatly into the four familiar forces of nature, and the search is reshaping how detectors are built and where they are ...

Physicists are building detectors so sensitive that they may succeed in unraveling one of the greatest mysteries in modern physics: the true nature of dark matter.

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) are working together to develop a science instrument that will survive the harsh and unforgiving ...

Life on Earth has long been understood to run on two main energy sources. One comes from sunlight, captured by photosynthesis. The other comes from chemical reactions, such as microbes feeding on ...

Scientific discovery rarely arrives in a single, dramatic moment. It usually emerges through careful experiments, revised equations, unexpected field observations, and years of incremental progress.

In the beginning, the Big Bang happened, sending everything in the universe expanding outward and apart, from a dense hot point. Since then, all that matter and energy has continued to move outward, ...

Energy Secretary Chris Wright discussed the plan to rapidly scale the U.S. fusion energy generation, highlighting the important role that the nation’s network of national labs will play in the effort.
