The aptly named SWEET project was developed by a team of researchers to use sugar crystals for detecting hypothetical light ...

An international team of researchers led by the Leibniz Institute for Astrophysics Potsdam (AIP) has shed light on a ...

Such an exponential expansion may seem minor, but it is equivalent to a grape in the palm of your hand swelling to become ...

Dark matter has two central properties: it has mass like regular matter, and unlike regular matter, it reacts weakly or not at all with light. Neutrinos satisfy these two criteria, but neutrinos move ...

A mysterious gamma-ray glow from the Milky Way's core has scientists divided. While pulsars were the leading theory, new ...

An unexpected monster black hole was found hiding inside one of the Milky Way's tiniest neighbors, rewriting what scientists ...

A class of University of Texas astronomy students has discovered that nearby dwarf galaxy Segue-1 seems to host a ...

Physicists chilled a sugar crystals then used them to search for dark matter. This new project is called SWEET.

A new study suggests the Milky Way’s gamma-ray glow could be a dark matter signal shaped by ancient galactic mergers.

Evidence of this quantum layer may be coming soon. Here’s what you’ll learn in this story: Physicists are still puzzling over ...

New strategies may soon allow scientists to test dark energy theories within our own solar system, linking cosmic-scale physics to local observation. Science advances through a cycle of proposing ...

Astronomers have shed light on a decades-long debate about why galaxies rotate faster than expected, and whether this ...
