Dark matter is understood to interact “feebly” with the visible universe, but was that always true? Physicists have modeled the inflaton—a theoretical space scientists use to examine the ...
The proposed new dark matter detection method would look for frequent interactions between nuclei in a detector and low-energy dark matter that may be present in and around Earth. (Right) A ...
