Research Spotlight: Is the universe stranger than we've imagined?

Particle Physics Particle physics seeks to understand the fundamental mysteries of the universe. Never has this been more true than now; discoveries in the next decade should help answer several mysteries and transform our understanding of nature. Does the Higgs particle exist, which thought to be responsible for giving matter its mass? What is the source of the matter asymmetry of the universe? Also, about 90% of the matter of the universe is "dark" (not in luminous matter) but we have no good candidates for what this dark matter is. Finally, an unknown force, often called "dark energy", is forcing the universe apart. What makes up the dark matter and dark energy?
