Black holes could reveal the presence of dark matter in their immediate vicinity through their gravitational waves.

One of the discoveries that fundamentally distinguished the emerging field of quantum physics from classical physics was the observation that matter behaves differently at the smallest scales. A key ...

New research shows how disruptions to binary star systems could be the key to detecting space's most confounding substance — dark matter. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...

Scientists used gravitational waves from black hole mergers to search for dark matter and found a surprising clue.

An artist's impression of gravitational waves (red and blue) emitted by a merging pair of black holes, inside a cloud of dark matter. (MIT) We may have accidentally detected dark matter back in 2019.

New research suggests dark matter could leave a tiny but discernible imprint in the cacophony of ripples in spacetime called "gravitational waves" that ring through the cosmos whe ...

First experimental observation of matter-wave diffraction in a short-lived electron-positron atom using a graphene-based diffraction grating. (Nanowerk News) One of the discoveries that fundamentally ...

Cold atoms and matter waves is a research area focused on the quantum behavior of dilute atomic gases cooled to microkelvin or nanokelvin temperatures, where their de Broglie wavelengths become ...

(Nanowerk News) A research team led by Dominik Schneble, PhD, Professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy, has uncovered a novel regime, or set of conditions within a system, for cooperative ...

Using a highly coherent positronium beam, the researchers observed clear diffraction patterns after transmission through a graphene film, confirming its wave-like behavior. One of the discoveries that ...

Can a small lump of metal be in a quantum state that extends over distant locations? A research team at the University of Vienna answers this question with a resounding yes. In the journal Nature, ...
