A new experiment designed to search the cosmos for its most mysterious "stuff," dark matter, has delivered its first results. While the Broadband Reflector Experiment for Axion Detection (BREAD) ...

Theories of quantum mechanics predict that some particles can exist in superpositions, which essentially means that they can be in more than one state at once. When a particle's state is measured, ...

The neutrino “fog” is beginning to materialize. Lightweight subatomic particles called neutrinos have begun elbowing their way into the data of experiments not designed to spot them. Two experiments, ...

An update to an experiment run by Henry Cavendish in 1773 could be a cheaper and faster way to spot a potential dark matter ...

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 ...

The doctoral thesis of Sophia Hollick, Ph.D. '25, a recent graduate of Yale's Wright Lab in professor Reina Maruyama's group, has significantly contributed to answering a decades-long question in her ...

In the era of precision cosmology, research often means big science: large observatories, highly complex instruments, international collaborations and substantial funding. Yet even in such an advanced ...

The simple experiment setup. Image via Wiki Commons. In 1927, physicist Thomas Parnell poured hot pitch into a funnel at the ...

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 ...
