Quantum physics once shocked scientists by revealing that particles can behave like waves—and now, that strange behavior has ...

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, ...

A group of undergraduate students pulled off something remarkable: they built their own dark matter detector and used it to ...

Two kilometres underground near Sudbury, Ont. , a machine has reached a temperature so low it barely seems real.

In the era of precision cosmology, research often means big science: large observatories, highly complex instruments, ...

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 ...

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 ...

Recent scientific discoveries have unveiled a baffling phenomenon: matter vanishing into thin air. This groundbreaking revelation has sparked intense debate and curiosity within the scientific ...

In a first-of-its-kind test, scientists used a levitated magnet to search for dark matter, the unidentified substance believed to be present throughout the cosmos. If dark matter is made up of ...

What happens to soft matter when gravity disappears? To answer this, UvA physicists launched a fluid dynamics experiment on a sounding rocket. The suborbital rocket reached an altitude of 267 km ...
