Matter, the smart home standard that promises an interoperable future for home automation, even if it’s scattered and a bit buggy right now, is out with a new version, 1.4. It promises more device ...

Most of the matter in the universe is missing. Scientists believe around 85% of the matter in the cosmos is made of invisible dark matter, which has only been detected indirectly by its gravitational ...

NASA's Hubble Space Telescope captures the magnificent starry population of the Coma Cluster of galaxies, one of the densest known galaxy collections in the universe — and where the effect of dark ...

Dark matter is one of nature's most confounding mysteries. It keeps particle physicists up at night and cosmologists glued to their supercomputer simulations. We know it's real because its mass ...

The glue that binds all your smart devices together: That’s the promise of the two-year-old Matter standard, and it’s a compelling one. But the budding Matter protocol still comes with too many rough ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Astronomers have long estimated that ordinary matter – basically, anything other than dark matter – makes up only a fraction of ...

Researchers suggest that dark matter might subtly color light red or blue as it passes through, revealing traces of its existence. Using a network-like model of particle connections, they argue that ...

"If axion clouds, and thereby axions, are discovered, this would be a massive step toward solving the dark matter problem." When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate ...

Astronomers propose that an ultra-dense clump of exotic dark matter could be masquerading as the powerful object thought to anchor our galaxy, explaining both the blistering speeds of stars near the ...

There is no product category that better embodies the XKCD take on standards than smart home. With an ocean of connectivity options and incompatible standards, taming this mess has been challenging, ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. The end is brutal for electrons hurtling at 99.9999999 percent of the speed of light through SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory’s ...
