Searches for dark matter particles have come up empty so far, driving theorists to get more creative with their ideas.

What makes up the matter we perceive in the universe? To start, there are the usual suspects, like electrons, protons, quarks and neutrinos. But if those particles aren't strange enough for you, I'm ...

A hidden family of "ghost particles" may be responsible for all the dark matter in the universe — and the reason that there is any matter at all, a recent preprint study suggests. One of the most ...

For the first time, scientists have caught a glimpse of a strange and elusive creature in the world of quantum physics—a semi-Dirac fermion. This unusual quasiparticle behaves as if it has no mass in ...

STARKVILLE, Miss.—A Mississippi State physicist and her colleagues are the first scientists to observe how subatomic particles—known as lambda particles—are formed, helping researchers learn more ...

Physicists have announced the discovery of a new type of pentaquark 1. Most ordinary matter is made up of three-quark particles —protons and neutrons. The five-particle pentaquarks and their ...

First measurements of how hypernuclei flow from particle collisions may give insight into the strange matter makeup and properties of neutron stars. This research offers fresh insights into ...

A new physics result two decades in the making has found a surprisingly complex path for the production of strange matter within atoms. “This data is the first time we study the lambda in the [atomic] ...

The universe is a strange place on very small scales. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. What makes up the matter we perceive in the ...
