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

You can't see, feel, hear, taste or smell them, but tiny particles from space are constantly raining down on us.

Spencer Axani, assistant professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy, is the inventor of CosmicWatch, a portable, ...

KAIPING, China (AP) — Underneath a granite hill in southern China, a massive detector is nearly complete that will sniff out the mysterious ghost particles lurking around us. The Jiangmen Underground ...

Somehow, even without silicon, this star was surrounded by dust. The dust grains were made almost entirely of iron. This has ...

ISRO’s Cosmic Dust Experiment detects interplanetary particles in orbit, revealing hidden cosmic traffic, advancing India’s ...

Since Einstein, physicists have found that certain entities can reach superluminal (that means "faster-than-light") speeds and still follow the cosmic rules laid down by special relativity.

A big detector to measure tiny particles The $300 million detector in Kaiping, China, took more than nine years to build. It is located 2,297 feet underground to protect it from pesky cosmic rays and ...

High-energy cosmic rays errors possibly created a soft error, known as a "bit flip," in the onboard avionics of the Airbus ...

Earth is under constant bombardment by cosmic rays, showers of high-energy particles that blast our planet from all directions at near light speed. While this might sound like the precursor to a ...
