The study used molecular physics to map unseen interactions, narrowing the search for dark matter.

We may be more in the dark about dark matter than previously thought, according to a new analysis of distant galaxy clusters.

Modern cosmology assumes dark matter exists. But what makes us so certain that dark matter is the answer—and what if we're ...

A new kind of dark matter could help explain some of the universe’s mysteries, a new study suggests. The study proposes that there are dense clumps of “self-interacting dark matter”, or SIDM, each ...

A new recipe of dark matter that interacts with itself could be the solution to three separate and vastly different cosmic ...

Newton’s Law of Gravity just survived its biggest cosmic test. Scientists studied nearly 686,000 galaxies spread across 7 ...

Researchers have been looking at everything, including supernovas, trying to uncover the mysteries of dark matter. Recent scientific studies suggest that dark matter might not be a particle hiding in ...

Ask most astronomers, and they’ll tell you that dark matter and dark energy make up more than 95 percent of the universe and that they are the explanations for many of the large-scale phenomena we ...

Scientists propose early cosmic waves formed dark matter, linking its origin to gravitational ripples from the young Universe.

Dark centre? A simulated version of the Milky Way galaxy. (Courtesy: AIP/ A. Khalatyan) Astronomers have long puzzled over the cause of a mysterious “glow” of very high energy gamma radiation ...
