Physicists are building detectors so sensitive that they may succeed in unraveling one of the greatest mysteries in modern physics: the true nature of dark matter.

A new gravitational model suggests dark matter may not exist. By allowing gravity to weaken more slowly at large distances, physicist Naman Kumar shows galaxy rotation curves can be explained using ...

An expert explanation of why the night sky stays dark despite billions of stars in the universe. It breaks down the physics behind light distance expansion of space and how these factors limit what ...

When the universe first burst into being, all of space was a cosmic cauldron filled with a roiling, fiery liquid of ...

Modern physics relies on "Dark Energy," "Dark Matter," and over 20 arbitrary tuning parameters to explain the universe. A comprehensive AI-driven audit performed by Gemini Pro on 20 technical papers ...

Most of the universe is made of dark matter and dark energy, yet scientists still don’t know what either one is. New ultra-sensitive detectors are being built to spot incredibly rare particle ...

If true, the idea would blow past one of physics’ most sacred limits: that parallel versions of reality can never talk to ...

Launched on Dec. 20, it would travel for the next 23 days on a NASA balloon along the very highest reaches of the atmosphere, ...

After 25 years, Brookhaven National Laboratory’s Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider—the U.S.’s largest particle collider—has ...

A doctoral student recreated a tiny piece of the universe in a bottle to investigate the chemistry that led to life on Earth.

CSIC-INTA and using modelling techniques developed at the University of Oxford, has uncovered an unprecedented richness of small organic molecules in the deeply obscured nucleus of a nearby galaxy, ...
