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

A simple explanation of dark matter and antimatter, how they differ, how scientists study them, and why both are important to understanding the universe.

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

Physicists are exploring whether hidden dimensions and the shape of space could help explain why fundamental particles have ...
