As a central hub for scientific exploration, CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, is dedicated to probing the enigmatic particles that could potentially elucidate the mystery of dark ...

Physicists have unveiled a new superconducting detector sensitive enough to hunt dark matter particles smaller than electrons ...

Dark matter is one of the biggest puzzles in science. Although it makes up about 85 percent of all matter in the universe, it ...

When scientists cracked the human genome in 2003 – sequencing the entire genetic code of a human being – many expected it would unlock the secrets of disease. But genetics explained only ...

A swarm of galaxies called the Bullet Cluster is the biggest, best natural laboratory for studying dark matter that ...

Dark matter is a hypothetical substance that outweighs regular matter – which makes stars, planets, and everything we can see and touch – by five to one. But we don’t know what it is. One hypothesis, ...

Phases of matter are the basic states that matter can take—like water that can occur in a liquid or ice phase. Traditionally, ...

In February of 2023, the Cubic Kilometer Neutrino Telescope (KM3NeT) detected a neutrino some 35 times higher in energy than any previous detection. A new study posits that this muon might be the ...

At the edge of two exotic materials, scientists have discovered a new state of matter called a "quantum liquid crystal" that behaves unlike anything we've seen before. When a conductive Weyl semimetal ...

Information could become the fifth state of matter alongside gas, plasma, liquid, and solid states. A scientist has proposed ...
