What if I told you that while you can't see dark matter, maybe you can hear it? I know, I know, it sounds crazy…and it is crazy. But it's crazy enough that it just might work. It's a real life ...

The search for quantum gravity is the next big step in physics, as researchers seek to unify the physics of the very small ...

Scientists have made a particle physics discovery that they say could mean nothing less than the upheaval of our entire model of the building blocks of the universe—if their results can be ...

A recent study published in Nature combines data from two major experiments - NOvA in the United States and T2K in Japan - to observe with unprecedented precision how neutrinos, particles capable ...

Physicists got their first look at the structure of the atomic nucleus. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. The Geiger-Marsden ...

Scientists have just slashed the potential hiding spaces for dark matter particles. The LUX-ZEPLIN, or LZ, experiment has searched for and ruled out the existence of dark matter particles with a wide ...

On Wednesday (Sept. 27) morning, an international team of physicists reported a major finding about an elusive form of matter known as antimatter. It appears that antimatter responds to gravity the ...

Consider it good news, physicists say: “The opposite result would have had big implications.” By Dennis Overbye Antimatter just lost a little more pizazz. Physicists know that for every fundamental ...

Collide light with light, and poof, you get matter and antimatter. It sounds like a simple idea, but it turns out to be surprisingly hard to prove. A team of physicists is now claiming the first ...

THE STANDARD MODEL of particle physics—completed in 1973—is the jewel in the crown of modern physics. It predicts the properties of elementary particles and forces with mind-boggling accuracy. Take ...

The dark matter halo around our galaxy should exhibit slightly different interaction probabilities as the Earth orbits the Sun, varying our motion through the dark matter in our galaxy. When it comes ...
