Dark matter is a type of matter that does not emit, absorb, or reflect light, making it invisible to telescopes. Israeli scientists have outlined a groundbreaking method to study dark matter, ...

A study by Dartmouth researchers proposes a new theory about the origin of dark matter, the mysterious and invisible substance thought to give the universe its shape and structure. They say the ...

Scientists at Rutgers and collaborators have traced the invisible dark matter scaffolding of the universe using over 100,000 Lyman-alpha emitting galaxies. By studying how these galaxies clustered ...

WIMPs (weakly interacting massive particles) are one of the most serious contenders for dark matter—the “missing” mass supposedly constituting 85% of our universe. Given its elusiveness, dark matter ...

In their search for dark matter, scientists from the XENON Collaboration are using one of the world's most sensitive dark matter detectors, XENONnT at the Gran Sasso Laboratory of the National ...

"The new model can account for both structure formation and stability, and the key observational properties of the expansion of the universe at large." A new model of the cosmos does away with the ...

Jupiter’s moon Ganymede could be a vast dark matter detector, and upcoming space missions might be able to spot distinctive dark matter craters on its ancient surface. Physicists searching for dark ...

"This black hole could then grow and consume the entire planet, turning it into a black hole with the same mass as the original planet." New research suggests that dark matter could gather over vast ...
