Scientists have never directly detected dark matter, but some wonder if one high-energy detection in 2023 could be a rare indirect glimpse at it.
We may already have had our first-ever encounter with dark matter, according to researchers who say a mysteriously high-energy particle detected in 2023 is not a neutrino after all, but something ...
A single flash raced through the instrument’s glass spheres, and computer checks showed that the parent particle must have carried about 220 peta-electronvolts of energy.
Scientists have detected the highest energy ghost particle neutrino ever, but did it come from a supermassive black hole particle accelerator aiming its jet straight at Earth or from a cosmic fossil?
Researchers recently detected an "ultra-high-energy" cosmic ray, which is the most powerful since the famous "Oh My God" particle was detected in 1991. They have no idea where it came from.
Space scientists have detected an extremely rare, ultra-high-energy particle that they believe traveled to Earth from beyond the Milky Way galaxy.
BAFFLED boffins have found a rare and extremely high-energy particle falling to Earth — sparking claims of extra-terrestrials. It is from an apparently empty region of space and scientists say ...
Researchers have detected one of the highest-energy particles ever falling to Earth. Cosmic rays are high-energy particles that come from sources in space such as the sun, but this recent ...
So, the high-energy particle wasn’t directly a dark matter particle, but rather a muon that decayed from dark matter likely fired from a blazar (a type of active galactic nucleus) right at Earth.
