Evidence of this quantum layer may be coming soon. Here’s what you’ll learn in this story: Physicists are still puzzling over ...

Dark matter has two central properties: it has mass like regular matter, and unlike regular matter, it reacts weakly or not at all with light. Neutrinos satisfy these two criteria, but neutrinos move ...

The nature of dark matter is largely unknown, but it is thought to have mass, which influences particle interactions in the universe through gravity. Dark matter may not interact much with visible ...

The elusive Higgs particle has the power to undo physics as we know it. The fact that it hasn't could have big implications about the nature of the universe. When you purchase through links on our ...

Although our universe may seem stable, having existed for a whopping 13.7 billion years, several experiments suggest that it ...

Although our universe may seem stable, having existed for a whopping 13.7 billion years, several experiments suggest that it is at risk – walking on the edge of a very dangerous cliff. And it’s all ...

Tachyons might sound like creatures ripped out of a George R. R. Martin novel, but the reality is that they refer to as-yet-non-existent particles not only capable of travelling faster than the speed ...

An artistic illustration of the mechanism proposed by Professor Stefano Profumo where quantum effects near the rapidly expanding cosmic horizon after the Big Bang gravitationally generate dark matter ...
