Scientists have inched a step closer to solving an enduring mystery in physics — why the universe contains any matter at all — thanks to a newly combined analysis from two of the world's leading ...

If dark matter is made from "dark" versions of the basic building blocks of ordinary matter, the world's largest particle accelerator should be able to pin it down, a new study suggests. When you ...

Just after the Tevatron collider at Fermilab in Illinois released its results, the Large Hadron Collider’s (LHC) ATLAS and CMS experiment teams presented their latest preliminary results in the search ...

The particle in question, known as a sterile neutrino, was supposed to only interact with gravity and have zero interactions ...

After years of careful investigation, researchers working on the Micro Booster Neutrino Experiment (MicroBooNE) have determined that a ...

On Wednesday (Sept. 27) morning, an international team of physicists reported a major finding about an elusive form of matter known as antimatter. It appears that antimatter responds to gravity the ...

The Large Hadron Collider began smashing atoms together in 2009 and continues to throw up surprising insights into the fundamental building blocks of the universe. It’s via evidence from particle ...

The universe's matter-antimatter asymmetry, where matter significantly outweighs antimatter despite their theoretically equal creation at the Big Bang, remains a major unsolved problem in physics.

The LZ's central detector in a surface lab clean room before delivery and installation underground. Located deep underground, the LZ (Lux-Zeplin) detector takes elaborate precautions to screen out ...

A ghost is haunting our universe. This has been known in astronomy and cosmology for decades. Observations suggest that about 85% of all the matter in the universe is mysterious and invisible. These ...

The neutrino “fog” is beginning to materialize. Lightweight subatomic particles called neutrinos have begun elbowing their way into the data of experiments not designed to spot them. Two experiments, ...
