Physicists have proposed that axions, theoretical particles that could explain dark matter, may accumulate in dense clouds ...

Physicists have shown that extremely light particles known as axions may occur in large clouds around neutron stars. These axions could form an explanation for the elusive dark matter that ...

A team of physicists from the universities of Amsterdam, Princeton, and Oxford has made an exciting discovery that could help ...

Core package to analyze gravitational-wave data, find signals, and study their parameters. This package was used in the first direct detection of gravitational waves (GW150914), and is used in the ...

(via PBS Space Time) Neutron stars aren't dark matter--we figured that out a while ago. But new research is telling us that they may be dark matter factories. They may produce the exotic axion, one of ...

The 10th-brightest star in the night sky, Betelgeuse, may not be on the brink of exploding as a supernova, according to a new ...

Strangely enough, however, different contradictory results have been obtained for this average lifetime of free neutrons – depending on whether neutrons are measured in a neutron beam or in some ...
