The tell-tale flash occurred in a detector called Lux-Zeplin at the Sanford Underground Research Facility in South Dakota, one of several experiments around the world designed to identify particles of ...

Dark matter is an elusive, untouchable substance that binds galaxies together. A shadowy signal could signify the first time a particle has ever been detected.

Far underground in South Dakota, a discovery about a particle could be a breakthrough in uncovering dark matter.

LUX-ZEPLIN recorded one high-energy nuclear recoil that researchers have not been able to match convincingly to known detector backgrounds. The event has a global statistical significance of 2.

Scientists with the LZ Dark Matter Experiment say they've detected an unprecedented subatomic interaction with their dark ...

Dark Matter Discovered? Scientists conducting the LUX-ZEPLIN experiment deep underground in South Dakota have detected a rare ...

It could have an entirely run-of-the-mill particle crashing into another ordinary particle. But physicists announced ...

CERN is moving several thousand computers that control its particle accelerator hardware from Red Hat-family Linux distros to ...

A flash detected by the LUX-ZEPLIN dark matter detector in South Dakota intrigues physicists, offering a potential hint of ...

Is our search for the ever-elusive substance finally at an end?

Detecting radiation is key to technologies ranging from particle accelerators and scientific instruments to medical imaging ...

It happened in a dark, sealed tank of extremely cold liquid, in a cavern where miners once chiseled gold from the walls.
