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 ...

AUSTIN (KXAN) — The most sensitive dark matter detector in the world is showing results in the hunt for the hypothetical particle. The results: they can’t find it. “If you think of the search for dark ...

Dark matter is claimed to make up over 80% of all matter in the universe, but scientists have never seen it. We only assume it exists because, without it, the behavior of stars, planets and galaxies ...

The nature of dark matter is one of the leading mysteries in modern astronomy. In fact, the name "dark matter" is essentially a placeholder for something astronomers know is there but can't yet ...

One of the great mysteries of modern science is dark matter. We know dark matter exists thanks to its effects on other objects in the cosmos, but we have never been able to directly see it. And it s ...

"We are using quantum technologies at ultralow temperatures to build the most sensitive detectors to date." When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how ...

Scientists have just slashed the potential hiding spaces for dark matter particles. The LUX-ZEPLIN, or LZ, experiment has searched for and ruled out the existence of dark matter particles with a wide ...

You can gaze upward at night to see a veritable ocean of stars, but the visible parts of the universe are just a fraction of the total. The rest, we think, is dark matter and dark energy, which are by ...

The colliding planar shock (CPS) platform should deliver precise measurements of the characteristics of warm dense matter (WDM), a state of matter exhibiting properties of both solids and plasmas.

The decades-long search for dark matter could ultimately end in an impasse. This mysterious substance that is thought to hold galaxies together should also surround and even stream through our bodies.

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 ...
