At the International Conference on High Energy Physics in Brazil, the BESIII Collaboration report that, after 15 years of ...

Dark matter appears to hold galaxies together, yet it has never shown itself directly. A new theory suggests the missing substance may owe its elusive behavior to the geometry of a hidden fifth ...

In Goethe's ballad "Erlkönig," immortalized in Schubert's fevered 1815 setting, a dying boy riding through the night sees a ...

The most direct experiment humans have ever designed to answer why the universe is made of matter — rather than equal amounts of matter and antimatter that would have annihilated each other — is being ...

The mysterious substance that binds galaxies together could naturally be 'in tune' with a hidden fifth dimension, according to a new theory aiming to shed light on one of science's biggest enigmas: ...

Dark matter may be far more complicated than scientists once believed. A new study suggests it could consist of at least two different kinds of particles that slowly separate over time, with heavier ...

Deep under the Apennine Mountains in central Italy, a detector holding nearly 9 tonnes of liquid xenon just posted the tightest experimental limits ever placed on two classes of dark matter candidates ...

NGC 1275 gamma-ray flare hit its highest Fermi-measured daily flux in 18 years on August 4, 2026 -- a factor of 10 above ...

Fields Medal 2026 winners Hong Wang, Yu Deng, John Pardon, and Jacob Tsimerman each solved problems that had stood open for ...

China made history at the 2026 Fields Medals as Hong Wang and Yu Deng became the first Chinese citizens to win mathematics’ highest honour. Their groundbreaking research, alongside winners John Pardon ...

Inside the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), collisions between relatively light oxygen and neon nuclei may be producing matter ...

Dark matter particles may exert a hidden force on one another, but its effects are stranger than expected. An extra ...
