Scientists bring human-scale object to near standstill, reaching a quantum state
To the human eye, most stationary objects appear to be just that — still, and completely at rest.
Yet if we were handed a quantum...
Dark matter is slowing the spin of the Milky Way’s galactic bar
For 30 years, astrophysicists have predicted such a slowdown, but this is the first time it has been measured.
The researchers say it gives a...

Axions — if they exist — could tell us about first seconds after Big...
Finding the hypothetical particle axion could mean finding out for the first time what happened in the Universe a second after the Big Bang,...
Scientists suggest new dimension to understand dark matter
As its name suggests, dark matter -- material which makes up about 85% of the mass in the universe -- emits no light, eluding...
Dark Energy Survey releases most precise look yet at the universe’s evolution
The Dark Energy Survey collaboration announced it has created the largest-ever maps of the distribution and shapes of galaxies, tracing both ordinary and dark...
This nano-sized iconic tower has 161 steps, 21 bells

Dark matter could change the temperature of exoplanets, allowing us to detect it
Ah, dark matter, you continue to allude us.
The stuff is incredibly difficult to study. It doesn’t interact with light, so our evidence of it...
