According to a new Physical Review Letters study, black holes could help solve the dark matter mystery. The shadowy regions in black hole images captured by the Event Horizon Telescope can act as ...

A team of astronomers have found a mysterious object in the distant universe that could be dark matter or an inactive smaller, or dwarf, galaxy.

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 ...

Results from the LUX-ZEPLIN experiment, co-founded by UC Santa Barbara physicists, mark a major step in defining what dark matter can — and cannot — be ...

Dark matter remains one of the biggest mysteries in fundamental physics. Many theoretical proposals (axions, WIMPs) and 40 years of extensive experimental searches have failed to provide any ...

For decades, astronomers have believed that dark matter and dark energy make up most of the universe. However, a new study ...

Physicists are eyeing charged gravitinos—ultra-heavy, stable particles from supergravity theory—as possible Dark Matter candidates. Unlike axions or WIMPs, these particles carry electric charge but ...

Astronomers have traced the hidden fingerprints of dark matter by observing rare, glowing galaxies that lived in the early ...

The true “informational age” of the cosmos may be 62 billion years, not just the 13.8 billion years of our current expansion.

Dark Matter remains one of the biggest mysteries in fundamental physics. Many theoretical proposals (axions, WIMPs) and 40 years of extensive experimental search failed to provide any explanation of ...
