The LUX-ZEPLIN detector is breaking new ground in the hunt for dark matter, setting unprecedented limits on WIMP particles.

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

Professor Chamkaur Ghag is driving efforts to detect weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs), the prime candidates for ...

Results from the LUX-ZEPLIN experiment, co-founded by UC Santa Barbara physicists, mark a major step in defining what dark matter can — and cannot — be ...

The visible universe is just the tip of the iceberg. Join us as we delve into the fascinating realms of dark energy and dark matter, the true rulers of the cosmos.

At the edge of two exotic materials, scientists have discovered a new state of matter called a "quantum liquid crystal" that behaves unlike anything we've seen before. When a conductive Weyl semimetal ...

Recent developments within the field of physics have brought forth a groundbreaking discovery: a new state of matter. This revelation, taking place within a laboratory setting, promises not only to ...

With at least three more years of data collection planned at the Sanford Underground Research Facility, scientists are ...

When scientists cracked the human genome in 2003 – sequencing the entire genetic code of a human being – many expected it would unlock the secrets of disease. But genetics explained only about 10% of ...

Members of the STAR collaboration, a group of physicists collecting and analyzing data from particle collisions at the ...
