Two UT Austin physicists were part of a collaboration that won the Breakthrough Prize for work at the Large Hadron Collider.

The quest for dark matter has mobilized scientists for decades. Two hypothetical particles, axions and dark photons (see ...

The study seeks to explain the presence of dark matter using a WED model. The scientists studied fermion masses, which they ...

Dark matter may have started as light-like particles that abruptly became heavy—a cosmic twist rooted in spin and ...

In ΛCDM, Λ refers to the cosmological constant – a parameter introduced by Albert Einstein to counter the effect of gravity ...

Now, researchers may finally have a tool to find these hidden particles—a detector described as a "cosmic radio" capable of capturing dark matter signals through specially engineered quantum ...

Co-author Dr. David Marsh, Ernest Rutherford Fellow at King's College London, said, "We can now build a dark matter detector that is essentially a cosmic car radio, tuning into the frequencies of ...

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or ...
