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

New research puts forward compelling new evidence that dark matter interacts with cosmic "ghost particles" called neutrinos.

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 ...

This may be remembered as one of the more important physics images of this generation. Credit: Tomonori Totani, The University of Tokyo Physicists from Japan's University of Tokyo have published a new ...

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 ...

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 ...

UC Santa Cruz physicist Stefano Profumo has put forward two imaginative but scientifically grounded theories that may help solve one of the biggest mysteries in physics: the origin of dark matter. In ...

For nearly a century, dark matter has been the invisible scaffolding of the universe, inferred from its gravitational pull but never directly seen. Now a cluster of independent results, from subtle ...

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 ...
