According to Fermilab, the interferometer will occupy a 328 feet shaft at its facilities. This was used years ago for access ...

The world’s most sensitive dark matter detector still hasn’t found evidence of weakly interacting massive particles, or WIMPs, but the search continues. LZ’s central detector, the time projection ...

Scientists are a step closer to solving one of the universe's biggest mysteries as new research finds evidence that two of ...

New research puts forward compelling new evidence that dark matter interacts with cosmic "ghost particles" called neutrinos.

One of the great mysteries of modern science is dark matter. We know dark matter exists thanks to its effects on other objects in the cosmos, but we have never been able to directly see it. And it s ...

A ghost is haunting our universe. This has been known in astronomy and cosmology for decades. Observations suggest that about 85% of all the matter in the universe is mysterious and invisible. These ...

The nature of dark matter is one of the leading mysteries in modern astronomy. In fact, the name "dark matter" is essentially a placeholder for something astronomers know is there but can't yet ...

Figuring out the nature of dark matter, the invisible substance that makes up most of the mass in our universe, is one of the greatest puzzles in physics. New results from the world’s most sensitive ...

The LZ's central detector in a surface lab clean room before delivery and installation underground. Located deep underground, the LZ (Lux-Zeplin) detector takes elaborate precautions to screen out ...

New results from the world’s most sensitive dark matter detector put the best-ever limits on particles called WIMPs, a leading candidate for what makes up our universe’s invisible mass. Figuring out ...
