The discovery of what is potentially the smallest clump of dark matter ever seen strengthens the case for cold dark matter.

In a groundbreaking study published inNature Astronomy, astronomers have identified the lowest-mass dark object ever ...

Dark matter, the substance that makes up about 27% of the universe, could potentially be detected as a red or blue light "fingerprint," new research shows. The research is published in the journal ...

The object was detected by observing how its gravity distorts light behind it. Astronomers have discovered an extremely faint ...

Evolving dark matter may explain cosmic acceleration. Observations support a mixed model. For years, a stubborn puzzle has sat at the center of the standard cosmological model. The evidence clearly ...

Astronomers say that NASA's James Webb Space Telescope may have spotted the universe's first "dark stars" that are fuelled by ...

The story begins with the black hole information paradox. According to relativity, anything that falls into a black hole is ...

The Bullet Cluster as seen by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) consists of a larger cluster of galaxies (left) and a smaller cluster (right). The hot gas seen by the Chandra X-ray Observatory is ...

Dr. Sukanya Chakrabarti, the Pei-Ling Chan Endowed Chair in the College of Science at The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH), and her team have posted a new paper to the arXiv preprint server ...

For all our telescopes and colliders, dark matter has remained an elusive ghost for the better part of a century. It outweighs everything we see by a factor of five, yet it slips past every detector ...

Determining the nature of dark matter, the invisible substance that makes up most of the mass in our universe, is one of the greatest puzzles in physics. New results from the world’s most sensitive ...
