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 ...

The LUX ZEPLIN (LZ) Dark Matter experiment is a large research effort involving over 200 scientists and engineers at 40 institutions worldwide. Its key objective is to search for weakly interacting ...

The experiment's new results explore weaker dark matter interactions than ever searched before and further limit what WIMPs could be. The results analyze 280 days' worth of data: a new set of 220 days ...

A strange, glowing form of matter called dusty plasma turns out to be incredibly sensitive to magnetic fields. Researchers found that even weak fields can change how tiny particles grow, simply by ...

Results from the LUX-ZEPLIN experiment, co-founded by UC Santa Barbara physicists, mark a major step in defining what dark matter can and cannot be Determining the nature of dark matter, the invisible ...

Cold atom experiments are among the most powerful and precise ways of investigating and measuring the Universe and exploring the quantum world. By trapping atoms and exploiting their quantum ...

Physicists are fond of Gedankenexperimente—thought experiments that are difficult or impossible to perform in the real world. Schrödinger’s cat is a well-known example of a thought experiment, used to ...

Have you ever stood by the sea and been overwhelmed by its vastness, by how quickly it could roll in and swallow you? Evidence suggests that we are suspended in a cosmic sea of dark matter, a ...

"Precision in these measurements is critical, as even subtle discrepancies could signal deviations from the model — potentially revealing new physics." When you purchase through links on our site, we ...
