The particle in question, known as a sterile neutrino, was supposed to only interact with gravity and have zero interactions ...

Nearly everything in the universe is made of mysterious dark matter and dark energy, yet we can’t see either of them directly ...

This discovery is important because it ruled out a major possibility for new physics beyond the Standard Model.

Two dark matter experiments have spotted signs of neutrinos knocking into atomic nuclei in their detectors. The finding portends a future obstacle for the detectors, Emily Conover reported in “ ‘Fog’ ...

The LZ's central detector in a surface lab clean room before delivery and installation underground. Located deep underground, the LZ (Lux-Zeplin) detector takes elaborate precautions to screen out ...

Scientists accidentally created a new compound called gold hydride, showing how extreme conditions can push familiar materials into unfamiliar forms. Gold Hydride challenges assumptions about noble ...

The world’s most sensitive dark matter detector still hasn’t found evidence of weakly interacting massive particles, or WIMPs, but the search continues. LZ’s central detector, the time projection ...
