Physicists know that something unseen is sculpting the cosmos, outweighing ordinary matter by roughly a factor of five, yet every detector built so far has come up empty. One of the most audacious ...

Axions are hypothetical light particles that could solve two different physics problems, as they could explain why some nuclear interactions don't violate time symmetry and are also promising dark ...

Scientists search for "decaying" dark matter (DDM) because it offers unique signatures like specific X-ray or gamma-ray lines or neutrino signals not seen in normal matter, potentially revealing dark ...

The new approach to search for light dark matter introduced by this research team could soon be refined further and applied in real experiments. This recent study could also inspire other particle and ...

Researchers suggest that dark matter might subtly color light red or blue as it passes through, revealing traces of its existence. Using a network-like model of particle connections, they argue that ...

As physicist Cumrun Vafa once told me, puzzles in science often come in pairs, each serving as the other’s solution. Basically, you never know what concept in physics might end up useful for ...

For all our telescopes and colliders, dark matter has remained an elusive ghost for the better part of a century. It outweighs everything we see by a factor of five, yet it slips past every detector ...

Dark Matter remains one of the biggest mysteries in fundamental physics. Many theoretical proposals (axions, WIMPs) and 40 years of extensive experimental search failed to provide any explanation of ...

Researchers from China recently announced the creation of the largest quantum network in history to directly investigate the existence of dark matter. The project connects research centers located ...
