Particle physics continues to probe the most fundamental constituents of matter while dark matter research seeks to illuminate the unseen mass that permeates our Universe. Recent efforts have ...

A new study suggests that during a potential phase of primordial matter domination, particle interactions may have led to the formation of the universe’s first compact cosmic objects. Less than a ...

Before atomic elements came together, less than a second after the Big Bang, if particles condensed into halos of matter, ...

UC Santa Cruz physicist Stefano Profumo has put forward two imaginative but scientifically grounded theories that may help solve one of the biggest mysteries in physics: the origin of dark matter. In ...

A mysterious glow in the Milky Way could be a beacon signaling the presence of dark matter, according to recent analyses. This development is part of a broader scientific endeavor to confirm the ...

On July 4, 2012, researchers at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in Switzerland announced with great fanfare that they had ...

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 ...

"We will push the limits of what we can observe, and use every gravitational lens we detect with Roman to pin down the particle nature of dark matter." When NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope ...

Some 2,000 years ago, a Roman ship sank off the coast of Sardinia. Now its cargo is being used to search for elusive ...

Scientists from around the world are at Brown to discuss what is known, and what needs to be learned, about the long-sought particle discovered a decade ago.
