Dark matter could be made of particles that each weigh almost as much as a human cell and are nearly dense enough to become miniature black holes, new research suggests. While dark matter is thought ...

A phase change in the early universe and particles called HYPERs could make dark matter detectable in future experiments. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate ...

Now, for the very first time, Chinese scientists directly observed it. Uncovering this theory, called the “Migdal effect,” ...

Pearl Sandick is an assistant professor of physics at the University of Utah, where she teaches a graduate course in general relativity. Her research interests include dark matter and supersymmetry.

In 1933, astronomer Fritz Zwicky noticed something strange: The universe seemed to have ‘missing mass.’ Something had to account for the space in between cosmic bodies and the gravitational forces ...

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.

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 ...

Our best model of particle physics explains only about 5 percent of the universe. The Standard Model is a thing of beauty. It is the most rigorous theory of particle physics, incredibly precise and ...

A new investigation of the early Universe led by Poland's National Centre for Nuclear Research has just found that there may ...

The universe has cooked up all sorts of bizarre and beautiful forms of matter, from blazing stars to purring cats, out of just three basic ingredients. Electrons and two types of quarks, dubbed “up” ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Everything we see around us, from the ground beneath our feet to the most remote galaxies, is made of matter. For scientists, that ...
