The latest experiment also represents the first time the LZ team applied a technique called “salting,” in which false WIMP ...

"Dark matter could be captured by stars and accumulate inside them. If that happens, it might also interact with itself and ...

Some of the faintest, coldest stars in the universe may be powered not by fusion—but by the annihilation of dark matter deep ...

Dark matter remains one of science's deepest mysteries. It makes up about 25% of our universe, yet scientists only observe ...

Dark matter formed when fast particles slowed down and got heavy, new theory says. ScienceDaily. Retrieved June 11, 2025 from www.sciencedaily.com / releases / 2025 / 05 / 250514120236.htm.

This particular isotope burns away quickly inside stars due to their intense heat. But in cooler objects like brown dwarfs, ...

Inspired by superconductivity, a strange new theory that seeks to explain dark matter might explain dark energy, too ...

Supersymmetric dark matter particles like the neutralino are examples of a general dark matter particle type called the WIMP, or “weakly interacting massive particle”.

Invisible dark matter particles may regularly pass through our bodies, and dozens to thousands of these particles may be colliding with atoms inside us every year, according to a new calculation ...

To actually prove that dark matter particles exist, scientists hope to catch these particles directly. "There are several ways to do it, but essentially they all boil down to trying to capture a ...

Advanced experimental setup expands the hunt for hidden dark matter particles. May 7, 2024. Cosmological model proposes dark matter production during pre-Big Bang inflation. Nov 30, 2024.

"Dark matter started its life as near-massless relativistic particles, almost like light," says Robert Caldwell, a professor of physics and astronomy and the paper's senior author.
