Australia's bid to detect elusive dark matter has taken a major step forward, with new research confirming that cosmic ...

Deep beneath the Earth’s surface, a major physics experiment has reached a critical milestone, enabling detectors to operate ...

Dark matter is some kind of substance that has gravity—it holds galaxies together—yet cannot be directly seen with any ...

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 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 ...

A new experiment with momentum-entangled helium atoms could help unite quantum mechanics and general relativity.

Results from the LUX-ZEPLIN experiment, co-founded by UC Santa Barbara physicists, mark a major step in defining what dark matter can and cannot be Determining the nature of dark matter, the invisible ...

The next generation of dark matter detectors has arrived. A massive new effort to detect the elusive substance has reported its first results. Following a time-honored tradition of dark matter hunters ...
