Searches for dark matter particles have come up empty so far, driving theorists to get more creative with their ideas.

Astronomers have proposed a radical idea: dark matter—the mysterious substance making up most of the universe’s mass, might ...

"Dark photon" theory says light's interference patterns may emerge from quantum particles, not waves, upending centuries of ...

With contributions from Brown faculty and students, the LUX-ZEPLIN experiment analyzed the largest dataset ever collected by a dark matter detector, and the results provide the strongest constraints ...

A new theoretical study suggests fusion reactors could do more than generate energy, they might also produce particles linked to dark matter. Researchers at the University of Cincinnati say they have ...

A mysterious excess of far-ultraviolet light seen across the Milky Way could come from the annihilation of clumpy dark matter ...

Elusive dark matter particles may lurk deep within the heart of the sun, and researchers have discovered that we can use a detector buried in the Antarctic ice sheet to find them. Dark matter is the ...

Australian researchers have played a central role in a landmark result from the LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) experiment in South ...

Scientists are using atomic clocks to investigate some of the universe's greatest mysteries, including the nature of dark matter, in a laboratory. In the process, they say they're bringing cosmology ...

Physicists announced Wednesday that a particle detector on the International Space Station has possibly detected signals of dark matter. Though exciting, the new results are still uncertain, and ...

The most sensitive search yet for the elusive particles that may make up dark matter has turned up nothing, putting stronger limits than ever on the ingredients of nature's invisible stuff. Dark ...

One of the biggest mysteries of the universe is why its expansion seems to be speeding up. Physicists have attributed it to a strange force called dark energy, but exactly how it works is largely ...
