Does dark matter follow the same laws as ordinary matter? The mystery of this invisible and hypothetical component of our ...

Dark matter has two central properties: it has mass like regular matter, and unlike regular matter, it reacts weakly or not at all with light. Neutrinos satisfy these two criteria, but neutrinos move ...

Scientists at Tel Aviv University have developed a new way to investigate dark matter by studying faint radio waves from the Universe’s earliest era, known as the cosmic dark ages. Their research ...

Several hundred pounds of ultrapure copper recently made the journey from the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF) in ...

Astronomers are pulling back the curtain on two of the universe’s biggest mysteries: how planets are born and how invisible matter shapes galaxies. Thanks to the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and ...
