The latest dark matter experiment kicks off this week, as physicists aim to identify the universe's most enigmatic particles. Reading time 2 minutes Long tubes, strong magnets, and bright lasers. Is ...

Dark matter is a mysterious type of matter that does not emit, absorb, or reflect light, yet is predicted to account for most ...

AUSTIN (KXAN) — The most sensitive dark matter detector in the world is showing results in the hunt for the hypothetical particle. The results: they can’t find it. “If you think of the search for dark ...

The world’s most sensitive dark matter detector still hasn’t found evidence of weakly interacting massive particles, or WIMPs, but the search continues. LZ’s central detector, the time projection ...

Dark energy remains one of the most stubborn puzzles in modern science. Despite decades of observation and increasingly ...

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 ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Do you know which are the most abundant particles in the universe? It is neutrinos — small, chargeless, and nearly massless ...

As a central hub for scientific exploration, CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, is dedicated to probing the enigmatic particles that could potentially elucidate the mystery of dark ...

Although dark matter and dark energy make up an estimated 95 percent of matter in the universe, scientists have never observed them directly. A new experiment underway at the University of Nottingham ...

The LUX ZEPLIN (LZ) Dark Matter experiment is a large research effort involving over 200 scientists and engineers at 40 institutions worldwide. Its key objective is to search for weakly interacting ...

What is dark matter, and can we detect it? This is what a recent study published in Physical Review D hopes to address as a team of international researchers investigated a new method for detecting ...

Scientists working on the Dark SRF experiment at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory have demonstrated unprecedented sensitivity in an experimental setup used to ...
