A light has emerged at the end of the tunnel in the long pursuit of developing quantum computers, which are expected to ...

The hypothetical faster-than-light particle known as the tachyon may marry with the special theory of relativity, according to a team of physicists, making its existence more plausible. Tachyons are a ...

A phase change in the early universe and particles called HYPERs could make dark matter detectable in future experiments. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate ...

Astronomers found evidence that dark matter and neutrinos may interact, hinting at a "fundamental breakthrough" that ...

This is what the creation of a Higgs Boson looks like to the Large Hadron Collider. (Credit: CERN) The Higgs boson is, if ...

The new research suggests an alternative origin. Dark matter could have instead been born extremely hot, opening up ...

Columnist Natalie Wolchover checks in with particle physicists more than a decade after the field entered a profound crisis.

Einstein’s claim that the speed of light is constant has survived more than a century of scrutiny—but scientists are still daring to test it. Some theories of quantum gravity suggest light might ...

"WIMPs are still the leading candidate for dark matter, but billions of dollars of experiments have been done, only getting stronger and stronger upper limits, so alternative scenarios have to be ...

An obscure theory of elementary particles proved to be key to China’s re-emergence as a scientific nation after the Cultural ...
