Brown dwarfs are too small to sustain the nuclear fusion that powers most stars, so they cool and fade over time. But if they ...

Quantum sensors have become important tools in low-energy particle physics. Michael Doser explores opportunities to exploit ...

Dark matter is one of Nature’s most confounding mysteries. It keeps particle physicists up at night and cosmologists glued to their supercomputer simulations. We know it’s real because its mass ...

“These objects collect the dark matter that helps them become a dark dwarf. The more dark matter you have around, the more ...

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

Knowable Magazine reports on attosecond science, revealing how scientists study atomic interactions at unbelievable speeds to ...

Don’t call them Duergar—they’re dark dwarfs. A new study published in the Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics (JCAP) proposes that the core of our galaxy is full of an all-new category of ...

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

"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 dwarfs, stars composed of dark matter, may be the optimal objects in which to finally discover physical dark matter in the real world.
