Dark Matter

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

A dark matter laboratory at the bottom of a gold mine in rural Victoria could make one of the biggest scientific discoveries ever – proving the existence of 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

Around 95 per cent of the universe is still a mystery with unknown exotic particles and new forces awaiting discovery

This century, one the biggest challenges in fundamental physics will be to really understand the nature of dark matter, explains Professor of Physics Elisabetta Barberio

High energy physicist Professor Elisabetta Barberio is leading groundbreaking Australian research in the hunt for dark matter and it’s all happening deep underground

As National Science Week celebrates scientific discovery in Australia, we ask what’s likely to be the ‘next big thing’ in some of the most exciting fields of science research?

In a laboratory 1000 metres below ground in a gold mine, Australian physicists are uniquely positioned to confirm the existence of dark matter

To celebrate 50 years of the July Lectures in Physics, we look back at four physics discoveries that have changed the world
