This corralled supercooled liquid relies on the surprising property that some atoms in a liquid remain stationary regardless ...

The search for dark matter has been largely unsuccessful so far. But now, scientists think they know where to look for it.

Physicists are now watching matter behave in a way that defies everyday intuition, with atoms and even light itself arranging ...

Deep inside what we perceive as solid matter, the landscape is anything but stationary. The interior of the building blocks of the atom's nucleus -- particles called hadrons that most of us would ...

A new theory suggests fusion reactors could help scientists search for axions, mysterious particles that may explain dark ...

High school science misses a lot of the science researchers actually work with. For example, you learn that there are three states of matter—solid, liquid, and gas—but in advanced physics, things get ...

When wading into the murky realm of theoretical physics, one of the more difficult concepts for scientists to explain is that of dark matter. It’s the invisible form of matter constantly eluding ...

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

The universe may have produced dark matter in the first few minutes of the Big Bang, according to new research. Those particles then got trapped into ultradense pockets. Some of those pockets ...

Scientists have discovered a new state of matter that isn't a solid, liquid, or gas. Researchers call this new type of material a 'corralled supercooled liquid'. Atoms in a liquid are normally like ...

Experiments have yielded a fascinating new type of matter, neither granular nor crystalline, that responds to some stresses as a fluid would and to others like a solid. The new material, known as PAM ...

It is impossible for a telescope to image and far from being completely understood, yet dark matter is everywhere. The deepest mysteries about dark matter relate to its nature and behavior. The ...
