Deep underground in southern China, there is a 20,000-ton tank of liquid that can detect neutrinos. Named JUNO, the ...

The Standard Model of Particle Physics is the collection of discoveries and theories that describe the smallest units of matter and the interactions between energy and matter. According to this model, ...

“If this is correct, to the extent of my knowledge, it would mark the first time humanity has ‘seen’ dark matter. And it ...

Nearly a century after astronomers first proposed dark matter to explain the strange motions of galaxies, scientists may finally be catching a glimpse of it. A University of Tokyo researcher analyzing ...

Everything you see around you—your phone, your cat, the Earth, the stars—makes up just 15% of the mass in the universe. The ...

Physicists have determined that most of the universe is dark matter -- invisible to us but affecting the universe anyway.

Particle physics continues to probe the most fundamental constituents of matter while dark matter research seeks to illuminate the unseen mass that permeates our Universe. Recent efforts have ...

After a decade-long analysis, a collaboration of physicists has made the most precise measurement of the mass of a key particle – and it may unravel physics as we know it. The new measurement differs ...

An extremely rare particle measurement from the world's largest atom smasher could cast doubt on a popular theory about the fundamental building blocks of the universe, including dark matter.

The Standard Model of particle physics does a decent enough job of explaining the universe, but it still has some holes in it. Now, a new study outlines how one hypothetical particle, the axion, may ...

A scientist analyzing Fermi telescope data found a strange glow around the Milky Way that looks like it could be coming from ...
