Nearly everything in the universe is made of mysterious dark matter and dark energy, yet we can’t see either of them directly ...

Now, two unrelated-but-similar experiments confirm that, in a double-slit experiment, detection of a photon’s path (its ...

The LZ's central detector in a surface lab clean room before delivery and installation underground. Located deep underground, the LZ (Lux-Zeplin) detector takes elaborate precautions to screen out ...

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 ...

This discovery is important because it ruled out a major possibility for new physics beyond the Standard Model.

The fifth state of matter—the ultracold Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC)—has been an invaluable tool in unlocking the secrets ...

Scientists have long suspected that a see-through substance known as dark matter suffuses the cosmos, keeping the fabric of our universe from tearing. But what exactly dark matter is made of remains a ...

Scientists accidentally created a new compound called gold hydride, showing how extreme conditions can push familiar materials into unfamiliar forms. Gold Hydride challenges assumptions about noble ...

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 ...
