Physicists at Heidelberg University have developed a new theory that finally unites two long-standing and seemingly incompatible views of how exotic particles behave inside quantum matter. In some ...

For decades, astronomers have treated dark matter as the invisible scaffolding of the cosmos, a mysterious substance that ...

Researchers have modeled a concentration of fermionic dark matter that could explain the Milky Way’s central gravity without ...

"It highlights gravity's possible hidden complexity and invites a reevaluation of where dark matter effects originate." ...

The Pauli exclusion principle is a cornerstone of the Standard Model of particle physics and is essential for the structure and stability of matter. Now an international collaboration of physicists ...

Data from the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) has revealed that particles retain spin signatures from the quantum vacuum.

The idea that empty space is truly empty has been quietly dying for decades, but new measurements of particle spin are now forcing the issue. By tracking how tiny fragments of matter emerge with ...

The mystery of dark matter—unseen, pervasive, and essential in standard cosmology—has loomed over physics for decades. In new ...

This puzzle is known as the problem of time, and it remains one of the most persistent obstacles to a unified theory of ...

Primordial black holes could rewrite our understanding of dark matter and the early universe. A record-breaking detection at the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea has some physicists wondering if we ...

Nearly 90 years ago, a Soviet physicist, Arkady Migdal, introduced a revolutionary idea. Now, for the very first time, Chinese scientists directly observed it. Uncovering this theory, called the ...
