Figuring out the nature of dark matter, the invisible substance that makes up most of the mass in our universe, is one of the greatest puzzles in physics. New results from the world's most sensitive ...

After decades of hunting, physicists still don’t know what makes up most of the universe’s matter. Now they need to cast a ...

Researchers at European XFEL, Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR), Rostock University and other collaborating institutions have used high-precision experiments to demonstrate that the most ...

Dark matter, a type of matter that does not emit, absorb, or reflect light, is predicted to account for most of the universe's mass. While theoretical predictions hint at its abundance, detecting this ...

In 1998, researchers working deep beneath Italy's Gran Sasso Mountain made a remarkable discovery. They detected what could be dark matter — a hypothetical particle that has eluded scientists since it ...

AUSTIN (KXAN) — The most sensitive dark matter detector in the world is showing results in the hunt for the hypothetical particle. The results: they can’t find it. “If you think of the search for dark ...

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, ...

Most of the matter in the universe is missing. Scientists believe around 85% of the matter in the cosmos is made of invisible dark matter, which has only been detected indirectly by its gravitational ...

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 ...
