The neutrino “fog” is beginning to materialize. Lightweight subatomic particles called neutrinos have begun elbowing their way into the data of experiments not designed to spot them. Two experiments, ...

The seven-person also did studies in the areas of biomedicine while also upgrading data hardware.

The nature of dark matter is one of the leading mysteries in modern astronomy. In fact, the name "dark matter" is essentially a placeholder for something astronomers know is there but can't yet ...

One of the great mysteries of modern science is dark matter. We know dark matter exists thanks to its effects on other objects in the cosmos, but we have never been able to directly see it. And it s ...

Scientists with NASA are launching enormous balloons, the size of a football stadium, from the Antarctic ice. They're carrying experiments on dark matter and other mysteries. Our next story takes us ...

This sensitivity opens an entirely new frontier: testing the existence of extremely light dark matter particles, with masses thousands of times smaller than those probed by previous experiments. In a ...

How researchers propose to search for dark matter. The torsion balance is a geometrically asymmetric structure with a hollow “spherical shell” on the left and a “solid sphere” on the right. The impact ...

Two recent studies by Professor Stefano Profumo at the University of California, Santa Cruz, propose theories that attempt to answer one of the most fundamental open questions in modern physics: What ...
