Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I cover the physics of nothing, everything, and the stuff in between. Dark matter is thought to be more prevalent than ordinary ...

The universe shouldn’t be here. Everything scientists know about particle physics, summed up in a theory called the Standard Model, suggests that the big bang should have created equal quantities of ...

Scientists have made a major step toward using quasiparticles - particles displaying collective behavior - to hunt for axions ...

I was watching Ben Krasnow making iron nitride permanent magnets and was struck by the fact that about half of the video was about making a magnetometer – a device for measuring and characterizing the ...

Researchers unveil a quantum measurement protocol that tracks the velocity and direction of wave-like dark matter particles.
