For that matter, what does it even mean to talk ... If you could turn off all of its interactions with the rest of the universe, an electron would be infinitesimally tiny and basically uninteresting.

Scientists at Brookhaven National Laboratory have used supercomputer simulations to predict electric charge distributions in ...

its immense gravitational pull—though weak—could affect normal matter in a way that’s distinct from standard matter ...

“Axions are one of our best bets for new physics,” Safdi said, though they are “notoriously difficult to probe given their feeble interactions with ordinary matter.” “These feeble ...

Physicists have proposed that axions, theoretical particles that could explain dark matter, may accumulate in dense clouds ...

Named after a brand of soap, its existence was first postulated ... Fortunately, this does not automatically mean that dark matter has no other interactions with visible matter at all, but if ...
