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 ...

"WIMPs are still the leading candidate for dark matter, but billions of dollars of experiments have been done, only getting ...

After years of careful investigation, researchers working on the Micro Booster Neutrino Experiment (MicroBooNE) have determined that a ...

The particle in question, known as a sterile neutrino, was supposed to only interact with gravity and have zero interactions ...

Frank Close tells us about the history of particle physics, and what it means that charge in our universe's matter is so closely balanced. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...

Inside the Large Hadron Collider, protons slam together at nearly the speed of light, creating a brief fireball of quarks and ...

To unlock the secrets of dark matter, scientists could turn to supermassive black holes and their ability to act as natural superpowered particle colliders. That's according to new research that found ...

Because we haven't found anything yet, we've started to wonder if dark matter might be lighter or heavier than we thought. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate ...

The universe's matter-antimatter asymmetry, where matter significantly outweighs antimatter despite their theoretically equal creation at the Big Bang, remains a major unsolved problem in physics.

Theoretical physicists have established a close connection between the two rapidly developing fields in theoretical physics, quantum information theory and non-invertible symmetries in particle and ...
