In a landmark discovery that bridges nearly a century of theoretical physics, a Chinese research team has successfully ...

The new object was a dark matter cloud filled with gas and containing no stars, a first such confirmed object in the universe by the Hubble.

Researchers from the University of Minnesota Twin Cities and Université Paris-Saclay have reopened one of cosmology’s oldest ...

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 ...

Dark matter, the invisible substance that shapes the Universe, may have had a far more dramatic beginning than scientists once believed.

Using NASA's Fermi telescope, researchers have detected powerful gamma–ray radiation emerging from a 'halo–like' structure surrounding the Milky Way. Its frequency and intensity suggest that this ...

Dark matter is an elusive type of matter that does not emit, absorb or reflect light, interacting very weakly with ordinary matter. These characteristics make it impossible to detect using ...

In case dark matter didn't seem mysterious enough, a new study proposes that it could have arisen before the Big Bang. Conventional thinking goes that the Big Bang was the beginning of everything – ...

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

Dark matter, the invisible stuff that scientists believe makes up around 85 percent of the mass in the universe, remains one of science’s biggest mysteries. As far as anyone has been able to establish ...

Stephen has degrees in science (Physics major) and arts (English Literature and the History and Philosophy of Science), as well as a Graduate Diploma in Science Communication. Stephen has degrees in ...

Scientists at Johns Hopkins may be closing in on dark matter’s elusive trail, uncovering a mysterious gamma ray glow at the heart of our galaxy that could signal unseen matter colliding — or perhaps ...
