The world's largest particle accelerator is now preparing for its next major scientific challenge: understanding dark matter, ...
More than a kilometer underground, in what used to be a gold mine, inside a tank filled with tons of liquid xenon, “something” struck the nucleus of an atom. The tiny collision left an unusual energy ...
LUX-ZEPLIN, an experiment co-led by Brown University faculty and students, observed a particle interaction that could be ...
Global scientists have encountered an intriguing particle interaction in their search for dark matter, which might help pave the way for answering one of the biggest unresolved questions about our ...
We may be more in the dark about dark matter than previously thought, according to a new analysis of distant galaxy clusters. Yale astrophysicist Priyamvada Natarajan, a leading theorist on the ...
A major physics experiment has uncovered evidence for a strange new form of matter, where a fleeting particle gets trapped inside a nucleus. This exotic state may reveal how mass is generated, ...
Physicists created signs of primordial quark-gluon plasma by colliding oxygen and neon nuclei, much smaller nuclei than ...
High-energy nuclear collisions recreate extreme conditions similar to those in the early universe, producing quark–gluon ...
