Astronomers found evidence that dark matter and neutrinos may interact, hinting at a "fundamental breakthrough" that ...

A new unified theory connects two fundamental domains of modern quantum physics: It joins two opposite views of how a single ...

An obscure theory of elementary particles proved to be key to China’s re-emergence as a scientific nation after the Cultural ...

Topological materials could usher in a new age of electronics, but scientists are still discovering surprising aspects of ...

Pearl Sandick is an assistant professor of physics at the University of Utah, where she teaches a graduate course in general relativity. Her research interests include dark matter and supersymmetry.

Two recent studies by Professor Stefano Profumo at the University of California, Santa Cruz, propose theories that attempt to answer one of the most fundamental open questions in modern physics: What ...

The Standard Model of particles and interactions is remarkably successful for a theory everyone knows is missing big pieces. It accounts for the everyday stuff we know like protons, neutrons, ...

If dark matter is made from "dark" versions of the basic building blocks of ordinary matter, the world's largest particle accelerator should be able to pin it down, a new study suggests. When you ...

Our best model of particle physics explains only about 5 percent of the universe. The Standard Model is a thing of beauty. It is the most rigorous theory of particle physics, incredibly precise and ...
