Quantum particles can move between two locations through a process called tunneling. However, what ...

Following the possible recent detection of a dark matter particle, researchers have already come up with a veritable cornucopia of possible models for what sort of particle it might have been ...

The analysis uses the Barbieri-Giudice measure, which tracks how strongly a model’s predicted dark matter abundance changes ...

Collisions between particles at high energies can sometimes produce new particles and shed light on interactions between the ...

After decades of hunting, physicists still don’t know what makes up most of the universe’s matter. Now they need to cast a wider net. Underneath an Apennine massif, below the Jinping Mountains of ...

When you hear about experiments searching for dark matter, you might imagine them diligently investigating places where ...

We may be more in the dark about dark matter than previously thought, according to a new analysis of distant galaxy clusters. Yale astrophysicist Priyamvada Natarajan, a leading theorist on the nature ...

In a special plenary session at ICHEP 2026 — the world's premier particle physics conference, held in Natal, Brazil — the international BESIII collaboration announced on Aug. 5, 2026, that it had ...

The direct detection of sub-GeV dark matter requires target systems capable of converting very small deposited energies into observable low-energy excitations. In this work, we develop a ...
