Scientists have chilled SuperCDMS detectors to near absolute zero in order to find dark matter that makes up 85 percent of ...

Discovering a new class of matter in the lab of Chiara Daraio at Caltech, researchers have identified a type of material that uniquely responds to stress, behaving like a fluid under some conditions ...

Explore 25 science experiments that defied the laws of physics, revealing mind-bending phenomena that challenge intuition.

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 ...

New research suggests that Earth’s solid inner core might not be as rigid as once believed. Instead, it could exist in an unusual “buttery” state of matter, one that challenges long-standing ...

The neutrino “fog” is beginning to materialize. Lightweight subatomic particles called neutrinos have begun elbowing their way into the data of experiments not designed to spot them. Two experiments, ...

Dark matter is some kind of substance that has gravity—it holds galaxies together—yet cannot be directly seen with any ...
