An international collaboration, including Northwestern University, has reached a critical milestone in the search for dark matter, the mysterious substance that makes up about 85% of all matter in the ...

An international team involving Northwestern University​ announced Tuesday that it has reached a major milestone in its quest ...

The neutrino “fog” is beginning to materialize. Lightweight subatomic particles called neutrinos have begun elbowing their way into the data of experiments not designed to spot them. Two experiments, ...

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Everyone knows it's cold it is outside. The entire Philadelphia region has remained below freezing for the seventh day in a row, with little relief in sight. But we are tapping ...

The world’s most sensitive dark matter detector still hasn’t found evidence of weakly interacting massive particles, or WIMPs, but the search continues. LZ’s central detector, the time projection ...

Over the past decades, many research teams worldwide have been trying to detect dark matter, an elusive type of matter that does not emit, reflect or absorb light, using a variety of highly sensitive ...

This sensitivity opens an entirely new frontier: testing the existence of extremely light dark matter particles, with masses thousands of times smaller than those probed by previous experiments. In a ...

Fun science experiments can happen outside of the classroom thanks to Jason Lindsey, also known as “Mr. Science.” The man behind “Hooked on Science” demonstrated activities to help kids learn at home.
