A long-elusive, hypothetical subatomic particle called the axion can be simulated and potentially detected in a type of thin material.

Scientists want to build a new type of detector they liken to a "cosmic car radio," that could listen to what the dark matter ...

Scientists may be just 15 years away from finally detecting dark matter thanks to a new kind of detector that acts like a ...

Dark matter remains one of science's greatest mysteries, possibly making up 85% of all matter in the universe. Despite ...

Researchers have now developed a new method to look for these axions by making something like an axion in the lab. Axions have some very specific properties in how they interact with other particles ...

Axions are one of the leading candidates for dark matter. These are tiny, weakly interacting particles that could ... with other quantum entities like the axion." Dr. Marsh added, "This is a ...

With the Higgs boson found — and no other new particles or dark matter candidates, such as Weakly Interacting Massive Particle (WIMP), showing up at colliders like the LHC, — Marsh explained that a ...

Now, researchers may finally have a tool to find these hidden particles—a detector described as a "cosmic radio" capable of capturing dark matter signals through specially engineered quantum ...
