Dark matter particles could be mediators of the interaction between electrons and atomic nuclei, as shown by a study ...

Something invisible holds the universe intact. It outweighs everything you can see—every star, every gas cloud, every ...

When an invisible entity making up 85% of the universe's mass stumps the greatest scientific minds of our time, awe is an ...

For those who watch gravitational waves roll in from the universe, GW250114 is a big one. It's the clearest gravitational wave signal from a binary black hole merger to date, and it gives researchers ...

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 ...

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 ...

A good chunk of cosmology is riding on whether dark matter exists or not. But what makes us so certain that dark matter is ...

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, ...

NASA's Hubble Space Telescope captures the magnificent starry population of the Coma Cluster of galaxies, one of the densest known galaxy collections in the universe — and where the effect of dark ...

Could dark matter be all around planet Earth but undetectable? There's no reason to suppose not, experts argue ...

Stephen has degrees in science (Physics major) and arts (English Literature and the History and Philosophy of Science), as well as a Graduate Diploma in Science Communication. Stephen has degrees in ...
