Deep underground in a Canadian mine, a refrigerator nearly 1,000 times colder than outer space has just reached its target temperature—a milestone that brings scientists one step closer to potentially ...

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, ...

Quantum physicists at the Australian National University (ANU) have achieved a major milestone by directly observing atoms ...

The SuperCDMS is chilled to right around absolute zero, and its detectors are primed to hunt dark matter particles.

Independent experiments have failed to reproduce the long-standing DAMA dark matter signal, casting doubt on one of the field ...

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

The nature of dark matter is one of the leading mysteries in modern astronomy. In fact, the name "dark matter" is essentially a placeholder for something astronomers know is there but can't yet ...

One of the great mysteries of modern science is dark matter. We know dark matter exists thanks to its effects on other objects in the cosmos, but we have never been able to directly see it. And it s ...

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

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 ...
