Physicists have unveiled a new superconducting detector sensitive enough to hunt dark matter particles smaller than electrons. By capturing faint photon signals, the device pushes the search into ...

Now physicists from the University of Washington are taking a big swing at answering that question. All matter exerts gravitational force. The more mass the object has, the greater the force. Yet, a ...

A new theoretical study proposes a radical idea in the search for dark matter—using the surface of Ganymede, Jupiter’s largest moon, as a natural detector for massive dark matter particles. The ...

The universe is packed with riddles, but few are as stubborn or as fascinating as dark matter. First proposed in 1933 by astronomer Fritz Zwicky, this elusive substance refuses to play by the rules: ...

Scientists at OIST have, for the first time, directly tracked the elusive “dark excitons” inside atomically thin materials. These quantum particles could revolutionize information technology, as they ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Sitting in a dark planetarium, kids of all ages had stars in their eyes on Friday as they learned about black holes and Earth ...
