Scientists at OIST have, for the first time, directly tracked the elusive “dark excitons” inside atomically thin materials.

The story begins with the black hole information paradox. According to relativity, anything that falls into a black hole is ...

Particles similar to axions, the leading candidate for dark matter that has long eluded detection, may have already been ...

Researchers at University of Tsukuba and The University of Tokyo have discovered that radio waves emitted from primordial ...

We know the Earth’s inner core is largely solid, which sets a ceiling on its temperature, and in turn, how much heat dark ...

A researcher, Heikki Mäntysaari from the University of Jyväskylä (Finland), has been part of an international research group ...

By listening for ghostly radio echoes from the early Universe, scientists believe future Moon missions could determine what ...

The detector, known as the Jiangmen Underground neutrino Observatory, or JUNO, is located in between two huge nuclear plants at Yangjian and Taishan. Both of those fission plants create their own ...

Physicists are eyeing charged gravitinos—ultra-heavy, stable particles from supergravity theory—as possible Dark Matter candidates. Unlike axions or WIMPs, these particles carry electric charge but ...

A clever mathematical tool known as virtual particles unlocks the strange and mysterious inner workings of subatomic particles. What happens to these particles within atoms would stay unexplained ...

Black holes are so strange that physicists have long wondered if they are quite what they seem. Now we are set to find out if ...
