New Inelastic Dark Matter Model Could Bypass Current Limits of Particle Detection
A new study from Brazil proposes an inelastic dark matter model using a massive vector mediator, potentially explaining the correct abundance of dark matter while evading existing detection limits. This fresh approach could revive interest in previously ruled-out models and offers experimental pathways to test these elusive particles through the in...

New Study Sets Stronger Mass Limit on Ultralight Bosonic Dark Matter
A groundbreaking study has set a new lower bound on the mass of ultralight bosonic dark matter particles—2.2 × 10⁻²¹ eV. Using stellar motion data from the dwarf galaxy Leo II and advanced computational models, the team ruled out lighter masses that cannot form observed structures. This challenges the popular fuzzy dark matter theory and pav...

Dark Matter Mass Limits Linked to Higgs Boson Interactions
Efforts to unravel dark matter's mysteries have revealed a potential mass limitation due to its interaction with the Higgs boson. A new study suggests that dark matter particles exceeding a few thousand giga-electron volts (GeV) could disrupt the Higgs boson, altering fundamental physical laws. This finding challenges the Standard Model and prompts...

Invisible Boson Stars Could Hold the Key to Dark Matter's Mysteries
Boson stars, invisible celestial objects theorised to form from axions, are now at the centre of dark matter research. Axions, light and wave-like bosons, may cluster under gravity, forming these mysterious entities. Unlike normal stars, boson stars neither emit light nor interact with regular matter in observable ways. With sizes ranging from smal...

Heavy Dark Matter Could Break the Standard Model, New Research Shows
New research warns that heavy dark matter particles could interfere with the Higgs boson, leading to instability in the Standard Model of particle physics. If confirmed, this could reshape how dark matter is studied, suggesting lighter particles or new interaction mechanisms. Scientists may need to adjust experiments to focus on low-mass candidates...

Physicists Predict Exotic ‘Paraparticles’ Defying Fermion and Boson Classifications
A new class of particles, called paraparticles, has been proposed by physicists, breaking the conventional boundaries of fermions and bosons. This theoretical discovery could reshape our understanding of quantum mechanics, offering possible applications in quantum computing. The model suggests that paraparticles have unique properties that could he...

CERN’s Large Hadron Collider Set to Smash Protons Together at Unprecedented Energy Levels
The Large Hadron Collider will begin its third run today, as it begins to smash protons together at an unprecedented energy level of 13.6 trillion electronvolts. The world's largest and most powerful particle collider will run around the clock for four years after a three-year break for upgrades. The newly upgraded collider will look at the Higgs B...
