Scientists don’t yet know what dark matter is made of, but they are full of ideas.

It’s not easy being clean.

New technology and new thinking are pushing the dark matter hunt to lower and lower masses.

It’s in the air we breathe, but it’s not so easy to get ahold of 10 metric tons of xenon in its liquid form for the LUX-ZEPLIN dark matter experiment.

Amateurs and professionals share the credit in the newest publications from the Space Warps project.

SLAC is ramping up its efforts to understand neutrinos – elusive fundamental particles whose properties may help researchers solve a number of cosmic mysteries.

The DOE has approved the project’s scientific scope, schedule and funding. SLAC researchers are among the 200 physicists and astronomers who make up the international DESI Collaboration.

Dark matter experiments are becoming so sensitive, even the ghostliest of particles will soon get in the way.

The Large Synoptic Survey Telescope’s ‘Eye’ Will be Built at SLAC.

Scientists on the Dark Energy Survey, using one of the world’s most powerful digital cameras, have discovered eight more faint celestial objects hovering near our Milky Way galaxy.

What are WIMPs, and what makes them such popular dark matter candidates? 

A batch of newly discovered satellite dwarf galaxies orbiting the Milky Way should help scientists better grasp the evolution of the universe while also honing in on dark matter's identity.
