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

At Texas A&M University, experimental particle physicist Dr. Rupak Mahapatra spends his days chasing some of the faintest ...

Nearly everything in the universe is made of mysterious dark matter and dark energy, yet we can’t see either of them directly ...

A puzzling ultraviolet light seen across the Milky Way could come from the destruction of nuggets of dark matter, the mysterious stuff that makes up around a quarter of the matter and energy in the ...

Advanced quantum detectors designed at Texas A&M University are reinventing the search for dark matter, an unseen force that ...

Researchers using new simulations suggest that the Milky Way’s past collisions may have reshaped its dark matter core. This distorted structure could naturally explain the puzzling gamma-ray glow long ...

A recent study by Rajendra Gupta, published in "Galaxies," proposes that cosmic phenomena conventionally ascribed to dark matter and dark energy can be explained by the temporal weakening of ...

Researchers have been looking at everything, including supernovas, trying to uncover the mysteries of dark matter. Recent scientific studies suggest that dark matter might not be a particle hiding in ...

Smooth filaments stretching for many light-years, seen by the powerful space telescope, could indicate what the right "recipe" is for dark matter. When you purchase through links on our site, we may ...

Dark centre? A simulated version of the Milky Way galaxy. (Courtesy: AIP/ A. Khalatyan) Astronomers have long puzzled over the cause of a mysterious “glow” of very high energy gamma radiation ...

For decades, astronomers have believed that dark matter and dark energy make up most of the universe. However, a new study suggests they might not exist at all. Instead, what we perceive as dark ...
