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

One of the things that makes the main particle accelerator at the U.S. Department of Energy's Thomas Jefferson National ...

Researchers propose a new theory for the origin of dark matter, the invisible substance thought to give the universe its shape and structure. Their mathematical models show that dark matter could have ...

Experiments with hydrogen atoms could soon reveal whether particles that were long thought to be forbidden by physics actually do exist ...

A research team from the School of Engineering at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology has developed a new computational model to study the movement of granular materials such as soils, ...

Quantum physics keeps challenging our intuition. Researchers have shown that joint measurements can be carried out on distant particles, without the need to bring them together. This breakthrough ...

Dark matter makes up a large portion of the universe, but we've never seen it. Here's what we know, what it might be, and why it could change everything. More than 80% of the universe's matter is ...

Before they can merge, one particle is sucked back into the black hole and the other escapes. These escaped particles are Hawking radiation. As more and more of these particles escape over ...

Demand for household batteries in Australia is on the cusp of an explosion, and new data suggest most people are motivated by personal considerations.
