LIVERMORE, Calif. – Take a gold sample the size of the head of a push pin, shoot a laser through it, and suddenly more than 100 billion particles of anti-matter appear. The anti-matter, also known as ...

Dark matter keeps getting blamed for the universe’s big patterns while staying stubbornly out of reach. You cannot see it, touch it, or capture it. Yet its gravity helps shape galaxies, and that makes ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. If dark matter particles decay, then scientists could hunt for signs of this process, including X-ray or gamma-ray radiation or ...

The hero is regular matter, which is everything we can see around us. Antimatter is the mirror-image explosive twin that ...

For more than half a century, scientists have tried to understand dark matter—a mysterious form of matter that doesn’t emit or absorb light but is thought to make up most of the universe’s mass. Its ...

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 ...

Now scientists think fusion reactors could recreate theoretical dark matter particles, so-called axions, and give researchers a better handle on dark matter’s physical properties and behavior. One of ...

Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory have uncovered experimental evidence that particles of matter emerging from energetic subatomic smashups retain a key ...

The magnum opus of particle physics is far from complete, requiring physicists to devise many alternatives—some weirder than ...
