New research puts forward compelling new evidence that dark matter interacts with cosmic "ghost particles" called neutrinos.

Try as they might, scientists can’t truly rid a space or an object of its energy. But what “zero-point energy” really means ...

For more than a century, the double-slit experiment has been the sharpest test of what reality is made of, and of whether ...

Searches for dark matter particles have come up empty so far, driving theorists to get more creative with their ideas.

In collisions at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider, hotter than the Sun’s core by a staggering margin, scientists have finally ...

Gravitational wave astronomy is starting to do more than confirm Einstein’s equations. It is turning into a precision tool for mapping the invisible, with theorists now arguing that ripples in ...

Dipangkar Dutta receives funding from US Department of Energy and the National Science Foundation. Imagine an epic video game with your favorite hero as a character. Another character is a ...

A puzzling ultraviolet light seen across the Milky Way could come from the destruction of nuggets of dark matter, the mysterious stuff that makes up around a quarter of the matter and energy in the ...

Scientists hunted dark matter and solar neutrinos with one of the largest experiments yet. While the neutrinos likely appeared, dark matter results couldn't be confirmed. When you purchase through ...

What we know so far: Scientists believe that dark matter comprises most of the material in the observable universe, but the mysterious substance has not been identified or directly detected after ...

A new study says observations from the NASA Fermi space telescope suggest a halo of dark matter around the center of our galaxy, but more information is needed to confirm the result. When you purchase ...
