Astronomers using data from NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope have observed what appears to be a clump of dark matter left behind from a wreck between massive clusters of galaxies. The result could ...

According to the Big Bang theory, normal matter composed of protons, neutrons, and electrons should account for roughly 5% of ...

A paper links dark stars to Webb telescope puzzles involving bright sources, dust-free galaxies, and early black holes.

A new theory published in the APS physicsjournal seeks to explain the origin and proliferation of dark matter through the introduction of a simple concept: what if dark matter can turn regular matter ...

Strange events seen at the very heart of the Milky Way could be smoking gun evidence of a new dark matter suspect. If that is the case, scientists may have been missing the subtle impact of dark ...

Astronomers have long been puzzled by two strange phenomena at the heart of our galaxy. First, the gas in the central molecular zone (CMZ), a dense and chaotic region near the Milky Way’s core, ...

A mysterious glow at the center of the Milky Way has puzzled astronomers for more than a decade. New research offers an explanation that could also reshape what we know about dark matter. When you ...

Scientists have found hints that ghostly neutrinos may interact with dark matter. The unexpected link could help explain ...

It has been more than 50 years since astronomers first proposed “dark matter,” which is thought to be the most common form of matter in the universe. Despite this, we have no idea what it is — nobody ...

One hypothesis for the nature of dark matter is that some of it could be self-interacting, meaning the individual particles interact slightly with one another. When you purchase through links on our ...

"Dark matter remains one of the biggest mysteries in physics, and this work shows that we may have been overlooking its subtle chemical effects on the cosmos." When you purchase through links on our ...
