Everything we see around us, from the ground beneath our feet to the most remote galaxies, is made of matter. For scientists, that has long posed a problem: According to physicists’ best current ...

A new theory suggests the universe’s greatest secrets are hiding in a “zeptouniverse” that’s ready to be explored—without waiting until 2070 for a new collider.

Scientists say an ultra-powerful neutrino once thought impossible may be explained by an exotic black hole model involving a so-called “dark charge.” ...

Most of the matter in the universe may be made out of particles that possess an unusual, donut-shaped electromagnetic field called an anapole. This proposal, which endows dark matter particles with a ...

A neutrino with almost unimaginable energy slammed into Earth in early 2023, carrying roughly 220 petaelectronvolts, far beyond anything human machines can produce. The event, tagged KM3-230213A, has ...

Modern physics relies on "Dark Energy," "Dark Matter," and over 20 arbitrary tuning parameters to explain the universe. A comprehensive AI-driven audit performed by Gemini Pro on 20 technical papers ...

"If our hypothesized dark charge is true, then we believe there could be a significant population of primordial black holes, ...

For various, typically historical reasons, even the best physicists claim things that sound egregious to modern observers. That doesn’t necessarily mean these ideas are completely useless—if anything, ...

The universe's matter-antimatter asymmetry, where matter significantly outweighs antimatter despite their theoretically equal creation at the Big Bang, remains a major unsolved problem in physics.

When matter and antimatter meet, they annihilate, releasing energy in the form of radiation. Such encounters are governed by Einstein’s famous equation, E=mc 2 — energy equals mass times the square of ...
