The LZ detector will run for at least 1,000 days through 2028, and scientists have now released the data from the first 220 ...

Results from the LUX-ZEPLIN experiment, co-founded by UC Santa Barbara physicists, mark a major step in defining what dark matter can — and cannot — be ...

The universe is way more of a great unknown than you may think. What if we told you that the world's greatest minds have no ...

The LUX-ZEPLIN detector is breaking new ground in the hunt for dark matter, setting unprecedented limits on WIMP particles.

Two recent studies by Professor Stefano Profumo at the University of California, Santa Cruz, propose theories that attempt to answer one of the most fundamental open questions in modern physics: What ...

Researchers propose a new theory for the origin of dark matter, the invisible substance thought to give the universe its shape and structure. Their mathematical models show that dark matter could have ...

When you shine a flashlight into a glass of water, the beam bends. That simple observation, familiar since ancient times, ...

First and perhaps most perplexingly, researchers remain unsure about what exactly dark matter is. Originally, some scientists ...
