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.

In February 2023, an underwater telescope called KM3NeT, anchored several miles beneath the Mediterranean Sea, recorded the brightest particle track ever seen in the universe. A single flash raced ...

The discovery corrects long-held assumptions in plasma physics and opens the door to studying complex, many-particle systems ...

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 'Impossible' particle that hit Earth may have been dark matter We may already have had our first-ever encounter with dark matter, according to researchers who say a mysteriously high-energy ...

The result confirms a simple equation he put forward to describe the motion and may also prove useful in the design of future particle accelerators. Much of the early work on random ground motion was ...

For now, the most likely explanation is that the particle is just a high-energy neutrino, but we’re likely to learn more about these elusive particles when KM3NeT is fully online.
