Neutrinos are very small, neutral subatomic particles that rarely interact with ordinary matter and are thus sometimes ...

The National Science Foundation's massive IceCube neutrino detector at the South Pole just got a major new upgrade, which promises to take the search for "ghost particles" to a new level.

In 1930, a young physicist named Carl D. Anderson was tasked by his mentor with measuring the energies of cosmic rays—particles arriving at high speed from outer space.

The famed collider at Brookhaven National Laboratory has ended operations, but if all goes to plan, a new collider will rise ...

Astronomers found evidence that dark matter and neutrinos may interact, hinting at a "fundamental breakthrough" that challenges our understanding of how the universe evolved.

The big bang wasn’t the start of everything, but it has been impossible to see what came before. Now a new kind of cosmology is lifting the veil on the beginning of time ...

"We have long treated the Planck scale like a blurry limit," said Kulkarni. "But if you treat space as an information storage medium, geometry dictates a specific packing efficiency. The universe has ...

Our Milky Way galaxy may not have a supermassive black hole at its center but rather an enormous clump of mysterious dark ...

What if the Milky Way’s central “black hole” isn’t a black hole at all? A new model proposes that an ultra-dense dark matter core could mimic its gravitational pull.

Essentially, the quantum metric creates a “geometric” drag on the electrons. When the magnetic field is applied, it breaks the time-reversal symmetry, revealing this hidden geometry by causing the ...

“For the last 20 years, people believed that the cosmological constant is positive, and the universe will expand forever,” says Tye, a professor emeritus at Cornell. A positive constant acts like a ...
