The Large Hadron Collider, the world’s largest and most powerful particle accelerator, restarted on April 22, 2022, after more than three years of maintenance, consolidation,…
In a simulation of the early universe, shortly after the Big Bang, tornado-like strings (dark blue loop) throw off axion particles. These axions should still…
Scientists from Durham University and Kings College London have presented a theoretical review in a new study strongly supporting the search for axion dark matter.…
Astrophysicists have reconstructed a dwarf galaxy shredded in a collision with the Milky Way, a finding that could aid in the search for dark matter.…
University of Wisconsin–Madison physicists have made one of the highest performance atomic clocks ever. Their instrument, known as an optical lattice atomic clock, can…
In simulations, collisions cause smaller star groupings to lose material. In a new Nature Astronomy study, an international team led by astrophysicists from the University…
