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 ...

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 ...

Only after adding a massive, invisible halo of dark matter to their computer models could the researchers reproduce what they saw in space. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...

Black hole discovery reshaped astrophysics by proving that some of the universe's most powerful objects cannot be seen directly but can be measured through their effects on space and time. Signals ...
