A new study has proposed that the detection of antihelium in cosmic rays could be evidence of a new category of particles ...

Its key objective is to search for weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) by analyzing data collected by the LZ detector, situated at the Sanford Underground Research Facility in South Dakota.

We strongly suspect that the universe is full of dark matter, which makes up around 25% of all the mass and energy in the ...

Around one billion of a certain group of particles called weakly interacting massive particles — or WIMPS, for short — are expected to pass through this detector per second. But so far ...

The presence of these particles, especially from the decay of WIMPs (Weakly Interacting Massive Particles), could point toward dark matter interactions. If this breakthrough holds, it may reshape ...

For a couple of decades, we thought we were on the right track with a new kind of particle known as a weakly interacting massive particle ... of the heavier known particles, like the top quark.
