More than a kilometer underground, in what used to be a gold mine, inside a tank filled with tons of liquid xenon, “something” struck the nucleus of an atom. The tiny collision left an unusual energy ...

An experiment spots an energy flash similar to that of the long-sought weakly interacting massive particle, or WIMP.

Dark matter is an elusive, untouchable substance that binds galaxies together. A shadowy signal could signify the first time a particle has ever been detected.

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Do kaons decay using a new kind of physics? Researchers are trying to explain their anomalous findings. Their larger experiment is an ongoing ...
