The particle in question, known as a sterile neutrino, was supposed to only interact with gravity and have zero interactions ...

If dark matter is made from "dark" versions of the basic building blocks of ordinary matter, the world's largest particle accelerator should be able to pin it down, a new study suggests. When you ...

Perhaps dark matter is made of an entirely different kind of particle than the ones physicists have been searching for. New experiments are springing up to look for these ultra-lightweight phantoms.

When searching for dark matter, astronomers must go on a sort of "ghost hunt." That's because dark matter is an invisible substance that cannot be seen directly. Yet it makes up the bulk of the ...

The health effects linked to particulate pollution exposure have been studied and documented for decades. These effects include respiratory and cardiovascular health problems and premature death. The ...

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 ...

AUSTIN (KXAN) — The most sensitive dark matter detector in the world is showing results in the hunt for the hypothetical particle. The results: they can’t find it. “If you think of the search for dark ...

Exposure to fine particulate matter (PM 2.5) during pregnancy is associated with an increased risk for spontaneous preterm birth, with peak vulnerability in the second trimester. Lower socioeconomic ...
