Dark matter

Analyzing the motion of X-ray sources could help researchers identify dark matter signals.

Fermi scientist Matthew Wood discusses major improvements to the Fermi Large Area Telescope, including increasing its sensitivity to the equivalent of launching another LAT.

A recent uptick in the discovery of the smallest, oldest galaxies benefits studies of dark matter, galaxy formation and the evolution of the unive

Dark matter hunters of the LUX collaboration have ruled out a larger-than-ever range of properties that hypothetical dark matter particles might have had.

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.
