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, ...

Scientists at the University of Minnesota College of Science and Engineering have reached a milestone with the Super ...

One of the great mysteries of modern science is dark matter. We know dark matter exists thanks to its effects on other objects in the cosmos, but we have never been able to directly see it. And it s ...

For the first time, scientists have transported antimatter by road. Researchers from CERN’s BASE collaboration loaded 92 ...

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

Scientists with NASA are launching enormous balloons, the size of a football stadium, from the Antarctic ice. They're carrying experiments on dark matter and other mysteries. Our next story takes us ...

The SuperCDMS is chilled to right around absolute zero, and its detectors are primed to hunt dark matter particles.

A new experiment with momentum-entangled helium atoms could help unite quantum mechanics and general relativity.

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 ...

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 ...

Some 2,400 metres below the Jinping Mountains in southwest China, the world’s deepest and largest underground laboratory has just opened. The enormous space is home to scientists who are hunting down ...
