"WIMPs are still the leading candidate for dark matter, but billions of dollars of experiments have been done, only getting ...

It is this: when many individual entities come together, the result is not merely the sum of their parts. In the language of ...

Proton collisions at the LHC appear wildly chaotic, but new data reveal a surprising underlying order. The findings confirm that a basic rule of quantum mechanics holds true even in extreme particle ...

The particle in question, known as a sterile neutrino, was supposed to only interact with gravity and have zero interactions ...

New research puts forward compelling new evidence that dark matter interacts with cosmic "ghost particles" called neutrinos.

Fusion reactors may not only generate clean energy but also produce axions, particles linked to dark matter, according to a ...

Sebastian Mizera grew up in Krakow, Poland, studied in the United Kingdom and Canada, and worked at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey, before making his way to New York City ...

For decades, physicists have hunted for a single theory capable of explaining every force, particle, and interaction in the universe — a unified framework Einstein spent his final years chasing. Today ...

A green spectacle. With protective eyewear, ISTA PHD student Andrea Stöllner takes a glimpse into the experimental chamber (in the foreground) where two laser beams trap a single particle. One ...

In a rare global collaboration, scientists from Japan and the United States joined forces to explore one of the universe’s deepest mysteries — why anything exists at all. By combining years of data ...
