What is the nature of dark matter? A new experiment led by Columbia University physics professors aims to find out.

With contributions from Brown faculty and students, the LUX-ZEPLIN experiment analyzed the largest dataset ever collected by a dark matter detector, and the results provide the strongest constraints ...

Dark matter, a type of matter that does not emit, absorb, or reflect light, is predicted to account for most of the universe's mass. While theoretical predictions hint at its abundance, detecting this ...

Scientists have inched a step closer to solving an enduring mystery in physics — why the universe contains any matter at all — thanks to a newly combined analysis from two of the world's leading ...

Over the past decades, many research teams worldwide have been trying to detect dark matter, an elusive type of matter that does not emit, reflect or absorb light, using a variety of highly sensitive ...

This sensitivity opens an entirely new frontier: testing the existence of extremely light dark matter particles, with masses thousands of times smaller than those probed by previous experiments. In a ...

From a telescope network that spans much of the globe to a psychology study that spans 67 countries, here are the biggest science experiments on the planet. When you purchase through links on our site ...
