Symmetry: A Speed Trap for Dark Matter, Revisited
A NASA rocket experiment could use the Doppler effect to look for signs of dark matter in mysterious X-ray emissions from space.
Symmetry: First Results from Search for a Dark Light
The Heavy Photon Search at Jefferson Lab is looking for a hypothetical particle from a hidden “dark sector.”
Fermi Satellite Observes Billionth Gamma Ray with LAT Instrument
Sensitive gamma-ray “eye” on NASA’s Fermi space telescope continues to provide unprecedented views of violent phenomena in the cosmos.
Origin of Milky Way’s Hypothetical Dark Matter Signal May Not Be So Dark
An excess of gamma rays at the center of the Milky Way, previously discussed as a sign of dark matter, is likely caused by the superdense remains of ancient stars.
Delving Into the 'Dark Universe' with the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope
Two astrophysicists and a theoretical physicist discuss how the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope will probe the nature of dark matter and dark energy by taking an unprecedentedly enormous scan of the sky.
Symmetry: Dark Matter Next Door? (Q&A)
Astrophysicists Eric Charles and Mattia Di Mauro discuss the surprising glow of our neighbor galaxy.
Symmetry: LZ Dark Matter Detector on Fast Track
Construction has officially launched for the LZ next-generation dark matter experiment.
Physicist Suggests Looking for Dark Matter in Unusual Places
Most experiments searching for mysterious dark matter require massive colliders, but Stanford physicist and SLAC collaborator Peter Graham advocates a different, less costly approach.
Symmetry: Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Supernova
Using Twinkles, the new simulation of images of our night sky, scientists get ready for a gigantic cosmological survey unlike any before.
Symmetry: 2016 year in particle physics
Scientists furthered studies of the Higgs boson, neutrinos, dark matter, dark energy and cosmic inflation and continued the search for undiscovered particles, forces and principles.
