New research puts forward compelling new evidence that dark matter interacts with cosmic "ghost particles" called neutrinos.

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

There are a number of things that we still don’t understand about our universe. Case in point, since the 1930s, scientists have been searching for particles that are simultaneously matter and ...

A new theory suggests fusion reactors could help scientists search for axions, mysterious particles that may explain dark ...

What is dark matter? Scientists from Britain and Germany say an as-yet-undetected subatomic particle could help account for the 80 percent of the universe's mass that we can't see. This theoretical ...

In the future, quantum computers are anticipated to solve problems once thought unsolvable, from predicting the course of ...

Dark matter is believed to outnumber regular matter by a ratio of five-to-one, but so far it’s never been directly detected. Now, nuclear physicists at the University of York have proposed a new ...

"When my student showed me the data I thought she must be wrong," Boston College professor and lead researcher Kenneth Burch told Live Science. "It's not every day you find a new particle sitting on ...

If we take out all the matter, neutrinos, dark matter, cosmic rays, and radiation from the deepest parts of the voids, the only thing left is empty space. I know it sounds like a paradox, but the ...

— -- Still wondering what all the "God particle" hoopla was all about? Well, try this out. The subatomic particle is better known to scientists as the Higgs boson. And after decades of searches, ...
