The Universe still holds many mysteries, and among the most intriguing are these invisible components known as dark matter and dark energy. For decades, astronomers have estimated that ...

Evidence of this quantum layer may be coming soon. Here’s what you’ll learn in this story: Physicists are still puzzling over ...

New strategies may soon allow scientists to test dark energy theories within our own solar system, linking cosmic-scale physics to local observation. Science advances through a cycle of proposing ...

According to the model, dark matter may have started as particles that were hot, light, massless, and fast. As the universe ...

Astronomers have unveiled a new catalog of massive galaxy clusters, revealing new insight on the evolution of the universe ...

For over a decade, a dim but persistent glow near the center of the Milky Way has confused astronomers. This mysterious ...

Dark matter has two central properties: it has mass like regular matter, and unlike regular matter, it reacts weakly or not at all with light. Neutrinos satisfy these two criteria, but neutrinos move ...

An artist’s concept of the dark energy-driven accelerating expansion of the universe. New results suggest dark energy’s influence on cosmic expansion has weakened over time. In 2024 a shockwave ...

Dark matter is a real pain in the neck. The term dark matter itself refers to a hypothetical substance that seems to solely interact with the rest of the universe via gravity and to serve as the ...

What if I told you that while you can't see dark matter, maybe you can hear it? I know, I know, it sounds crazy…and it is ...

"Dark matter could be captured by stars and accumulate inside them. If that happens, it might also interact with itself and annihilate, releasing energy that heats the star." "Dark dwarfs" may sound ...

Black holes are eaters of all things, even radiation. But what if their rapacious appetites had an unexpected side effect? A new study published in Physical Review Letters suggests that black holes ...
