Dark matter has been thought to be cold and collisionless, meaning its particles don't interact with each other. The new study, however, challenges this assumption.

A new study led by researchers at the University of California, Riverside, suggests that ...

Physicists are eyeing charged gravitinos—ultra-heavy, stable particles from supergravity theory—as possible Dark Matter candidates. Unlike axions or WIMPs, these particles carry electric charge but ...

Okay, so quantum tunneling. It sounds like something out of a sci-fi movie, right? Like a character phasing through a wall.

A complete survey of all the particle and antiparticle activity that goes on during the Sun’s 11-year cycle has found previously unknown ways these particles behave. Cosmic rays coming from outside ...

Notoriously ghostly particles called neutrinos may have revealed a crack in our understanding of all the particles and forces in the universe. The standard model of particle physics, which catalogues ...

Learn how a two-state model of dark matter could explain why gamma-ray signals appear in some galaxies but not others.
