As part of one of the most ambitious quests in science a senior physicist at The University of Manchester has helped to narrow the search to find a ghost-like neutrino particle ... matter than ...

Particle physics is a branch of physics that studies the fundamental constituents of matter and the forces that govern their interactions. A significant area of research within this field is dark ...

One mile beneath a mountain in Italy, scientists at the Gran Sasso National Laboratory fill a particle detector with liquid xenon, hoping to observe evidence of dark matter. The idea is that ...

The nature of dark matter is largely unknown, but it is thought to have mass, which influences particle interactions in the universe through gravity. Dark matter may not interact much with visible ...

They might be dark matter. By smashing pieces of matter together ... from the LHC's high-energy collisions. Some call it the God particle. An engineer works on one of more than a thousand magnets ...

Yet despite researchers’ best efforts over decades to work out the nature of this “dark matter” – to find some clue direct or indirect as to what it’s made of, or even make it in the lab ...

The University of Edinburgh reported on Tuesday that Nobel winner Peter Higgs, the man who gave rise to the “God particle” that helped explain how matter formed after the Big Bang, has died at ...

So, dark matter could be the backbone undergirding the universe, which explains how galaxies form and evolve. The axion is the current leading theoretical particle postulated to form dark matter.

When a particle interacts with this liquid xenon it produces a flash of light, a phenomenon that the team has been leveraging to search for weakly interacting dark matter. "Despite this being a ...
