Neutrinos are the Sun’s secret messengers

Once thought undetectable, huge underground experiments are unlocking the nature of ghostly particles called neutrinos, which could be the key to a deeper understanding of what is happening inside the Sun

Sciences & Technology

Dark matter might be ‘light’

We don’t know the mass of dark matter particles, so researchers are developing new techniques to look for new, lighter types

Sciences & Technology

Using neutron stars to detect dark matter

The search for dark matter may need a detector larger than we can build on Earth, but it could be that a neutron star can do the job
