The Sun’s hidden particle engines finally exposed
The European Space Agency-led Solar Orbiter mission has split the flood of energetic particles flung out into space from the Sun into two groups, tracing each back to a different…
New Inelastic Dark Matter Model Could Bypass Current Limits of Particle Detection
A group of physicists at the University of São Paulo’s Institute of Physics has proposed a model of the behaviour of dark matter (DM) in the presence of dark energy…
Can one vanishing particle shatter string theory — and explain dark matter?
Researchers from Penn and Arizona State University pinpoint a lone five-particle package (a 5-plet) that could upend string theory by detecting it at the Large Hadron Collider. “Ghost” tracks that…
New study unveils breakthrough in understanding cosmic particle accelerators
Scientists have come a step closer to understanding how collisionless shock waves — found throughout the universe — are able to accelerate particles to extreme speeds. These shock waves are…
