Dark matter is a type of matter that is predicted to make up most of the matter in the universe, yet it is very difficult to detect using conventional experimental techniques, as it does not emit, ...
Researchers at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory are helping to pave a path for the eventual discovery of dark matter. With new approaches to measurement in the quantum realm, ...
CRESST is an experiment designed for light WIMPs (weakly interacting massive particles), which are dark matter particles. The detection principle is based on a behavior familiar from billiard: when a ...
A study published in Nature Astronomy has found a nearly 3-sigma statistical preference for non-zero interactions between ...
For decades, scientists have theorized that the Milky Way Galaxy’s supermassive black hole, known as Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*), ...
David Joffe receives funding from NASA through a grant from the Georgia Space Grant Consortium. Curious Kids is a series for children of all ages. If you have a question you’d like an expert to answer ...
Curious Kids is a series for children of all ages. If you have a question you’d like an expert to answer, send it to [email protected]. Can we generate a way to interact with dark ...
Researchers from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and their collaborators developed the first intercity nuclear-spin-based quantum sensor ...
About 85 percent of the matter in the universe is thought to be dark matter, yet there is still no confirmed direct detection of any dark matter particle. Ground-based detectors, space-based ...
