Dark matter, one of the Universe’s greatest mysteries, may have been born blazing hot instead of cold and sluggish as ...

Researchers suggest that dark matter might subtly color light red or blue as it passes through, revealing traces of its existence. Using a network-like model of particle connections, they argue that ...

"It's a fairly unusual question to ask in the scientific world, because most researchers would agree that dark matter is dark, but we have shown that even dark matter that is the darkest kind ...

Dark matter is an elusive type of matter that does not emit, absorb or reflect light, interacting very weakly with ordinary ...

"WIMPs are still the leading candidate for dark matter, but billions of dollars of experiments have been done, only getting ...

Scientists are uncovering dark matter, the biggest secret in the universe, with new detectors built to sense what was once ...

Researchers may have identified what could be a compelling clue in the ongoing hunt to prove the existence of dark matter. A mysterious diffuse glow of gamma rays near the center of the Milky Way has ...

The Milky Way is glowing in ways it should not, and the usual suspects like stars, dust and black holes cannot fully account for the excess light. A growing group of physicists now argue that compact ...

NASA's Hubble Space Telescope captures the magnificent starry population of the Coma Cluster of galaxies, one of the densest known galaxy collections in the universe — and where the effect of dark ...

Dark matter is one of nature's most confounding mysteries. It keeps particle physicists up at night and cosmologists glued to their supercomputer simulations. We know it's real because its mass ...

Dark matter is thought to outnumber regular matter by a factor of five to one – so why can’t we find the stuff? A new study proposes looking for it from space, using a satellite containing a ...
