The James Webb Space Telescope recently detected unusual objects in the Universe. These entities, which could be "dark stars, ...

Physicists working at the CERN particle physics lab said they detected a slight but significant difference in how particles of matter and antimatter decay. By Kenneth Chang Understanding why matter ...

Researchers propose a new theory for the origin of dark matter, the invisible substance thought to give the universe its shape and structure. Their mathematical models show that dark matter could have ...

Smashing atomic nuclei together at mind-bending speeds recreates the fiery conditions of the early universe and scientists are finally getting a better handle on what happens next. A sweeping new ...

Normal matter – which makes up everything we see and touch – isn’t the only type of matter present in the universe.

If dark matter is made from "dark" versions of the basic building blocks of ordinary matter, the world's largest particle accelerator should be able to pin it down. When you purchase through links on ...

New research suggests that the sun may hold dark matter in its fiery heart, and ghostly particles called neutrinos could lead us to it. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...

Scientists at CERN's ALICE detector are replicating conditions found during the Big Bang, attempting to get to the bottom of how matter came to dominate over antimatter. When you purchase through ...

Researchers from Ohio State University have come up with a novel method to detect dark matter based on existing meteor-detecting technology. Using ground-based radar to search for ionization trails, ...

Physicists have discovered an exotic new state of matter that takes the form of a highly ordered crystal of subatomic particles. The new state of matter, called a "bosonic correlated insulator," could ...

A study by Dartmouth researchers proposes a new theory about the origin of dark matter, the mysterious and invisible substance thought to give the universe its shape and structure. They say the ...
