Chinese-German team builds ultra-sensitive ‘floating compass’ to hunt dark matter
Chinese researchers have developed a table-top magnetic sensor that operates at room temperature and can spot magnetic signals…
Physicists Spot Curious Signal in Hunt for Elusive Dark Matter Particles
Physicists using the LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) dark matter detector deep underground in a former South Dakota gold mine say…
Researchers tested gravity across galaxy clusters separated by hundreds of millions of light-years and found it behaves almost exactly as Newton and Einstein predicted, strengthening the case for dark matter
Astronomers have discovered that stars in the outer portions of galaxies tend to move much faster than expected…
Astronomers Think They’ve Found the Best Evidence for Dark Matter Yet
Dark matter, the elusive, invisible stuff that astronomers say constitutes roughly 85% of the universe’s mass, doesn’t interact…
Cosmic plasma was supposed to rule out dark photons. Simulations say otherwise
A major limit on dark photon dark matter may be far weaker because early-universe plasma stops absorbing energy…
ATLAS breaks its own record with new search for double-Higgs production
Producing two Higgs bosons in a single proton-proton collision is among the rarest processes at the LHC. Yet…
Dark matter may be naturally tuned to a hidden fifth dimension
Dark matter appears to hold galaxies together, yet it has never shown itself directly. A new theory suggests…
Strange gravitational waves may reveal dark matter near merging black holes
The evidence for dark matter is everywhere and the evidence for dark matter is nothing. Galaxies rotate in…
Decades-Old Dark Matter Explanation Fails Its Most Direct Test Yet
A decades-old dark matter claim is facing a decisive new challenge. The result clears the way for future…
New study reveals how dark matter formed shortly after the Big Bang
Dark matter may not have needed a calm, cold start to help build the universe. For decades, that…
