Meet the dark photon
Dark matter, the invisible substance that makes up over a quarter of the universe, remains one of physics' most stubborn enigmas. In the hunt for dark matter, physicists are pushing past the Standard Model of particle physics, the best current model for describing existence, to the 'dark side' beyond. That may sound like something from Star Wars, but dark particles, like the theoretical dark photon, hold promising implications for both cosmology and particle physics research.
What does quantum mechanics really say about the nature of reality? Perimeter Institute's researchers have been seeking answers for 25 years. They are making progress.
