Dark matter is some kind of substance that has gravity—it holds galaxies together—yet cannot be directly seen with any ...

Everything we see around us, from the ground beneath our feet to the most remote galaxies, is made of matter. For scientists, that has long posed a problem: According to physicists’ best current ...

Scientists have proposed a new theory suggesting that dark matter, one of the universe’s biggest mysteries, may exist in a hidden fifth dimension. In a ...

Scientists say they can explain dark matter by positing a particle that links to a fifth dimension. While the “warped extra dimension” (WED) is a trademark of a popular physic ...

Now scientists think fusion reactors could recreate theoretical dark matter particles, so-called axions, and give researchers ...

As a central hub for scientific exploration, CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, is dedicated to probing the enigmatic particles that could potentially elucidate the mystery of dark ...

Two independent lines of evidence from the world’s most powerful particle experiments are converging on the same uncomfortable conclusion: something is producing signals that the Standard Model of ...

Crucially, physicists haven’t been able to think of any such process that would mesh with today’s leading theory of matter and energy, known as the Standard Model of particle physics. That leaves ...
