The LUX-ZEPLIN dark matter experiment that involves Penn State scientists has observed an unusual particle interaction that ...

With additional data, researchers can test whether the finding continues to grow in significance or fades away. LZ has ...

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) — A particle reaction, potentially revealing dark matter, was observed in a recent experiment by the ...

A lone signal from an experiment in South Dakota doesn’t fit the profile of any other known particles, physicists say.

Unlike normal matter, dark matter does not interact with the electromagnetic force. This means it does not absorb, reflect or ...

LUX-ZEPLIN recorded one high-energy nuclear recoil that researchers have not been able to match convincingly to known detector backgrounds. The event has a global statistical significance of 2.

The XENONnT experiment, in its hunt for dark matter, has detected the rare, feeble glow of neutrinos smacking into electrons ...

One of the great mysteries of modern science is dark matter. We know dark matter exists thanks to its effects on other objects in the cosmos, but we have never been able to directly see it. And it s ...

The nature of dark matter is one of the leading mysteries in modern astronomy. In fact, the name "dark matter" is essentially a placeholder for something astronomers know is there but can't yet ...

Scientists using the LUX-ZEPLIN experiment may have detected the first direct evidence of dark matter. Here's what the signal ...

Dark matter is claimed to make up over 80% of all matter in the universe, but scientists have never seen it. We only assume it exists because, without it, the behavior of stars, planets and galaxies ...

The secret to directly detecting dark matter might be blowin’ in the wind. The mysterious substance continues to elude scientists even though it outweighs visible matter in the universe by about 8 to ...
