Such an exponential expansion may seem minor, but it is equivalent to a grape in the palm of your hand swelling to become ...

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 ...

"It's possible we will see the new data and confirm one theory over the other — or maybe we'll find nothing, in which case it ...

Within modern astrophysics, dark matter is considered a critical component influencing the formation and structure of the universe. This report reviews the data, theoretical frameworks, and ongoing ...

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

Dark matter makes up about 85 percent of all matter in the universe. It neither emits nor absorbs light, making it invisible ...

Theorists have found that a “warm” version of cosmic inflation is consistent with known physics, linking it to the hunt for ...

Astro Brief is a collaboration between KSMU, the Missouri Space Grant, and MSU's Department of Physics, Astronomy and ...

They call it dark matter—an invisible substance thought to make up most of the universe’s mass, sculpting galaxies and clusters with its gravity. Now, researchers say they have spotted the smallest ...

Quantum networks are revolutionizing the search for dark matter by offering unprecedented precision. According to a recent ...

Astrophysicists at the University of Chicago have developed physics-based models suggesting that dark energy could be changing over time. Dark energy, the mysterious force causing the universe to ...

Despite it’s comparative size to our star, it’s still the least massive object ever detected using gravitational lensing.
