In string theory, each type of elementary matter particle—and each type of fundamental force carrier particle that mediates interactions between matter particles—corresponds to a unique string ...

Bosons are also known as force carriers because they mediate the interaction of these fundamental particles via one of the three forces: electromagnetic, nuclear strong, and weak forces.

But if those particles aren't strange enough for ... and dark photons would be the carriers of those forces. No searches have discovered any evidence for dark photons yet, but we still have ...

The basic idea is this: in addition to the dark-matter particles themselves, a new GeV-scale force-carrier is postulated (and denoted ϕ) that both mediates the process of dark-matter annihilation ...

The U.S. Space Force is keen to add to its arsenal a spacecraft that would essentially serve as the cosmic equivalent of an aircraft carrier. Appropriately known as an "orbital carrier," the large ...
