According to our best possible understanding of the universe, regular matter is only a small fraction of the matter-energy ...

Inspired by superconductivity, a strange new theory that seeks to explain dark matter might explain dark energy, too ...

Because it doesn't interreact with light or electromagnetism, dark matter exists to us only through its influence on visible ...

Researchers, in a recent Physical Review Letters paper, introduce a new mechanism that may finally allow ultralight dark ...

Webb’s new images of the Bullet Cluster reveal the most detailed dark matter map yet, shedding light on cosmic collisions and ...

Collaboration has obtained a high-precision cosmic-ray boron spectrum in the energy range of 10 GeV/n–8 TeV/n, and discovered ...

Dark matter "lampshades" could slip between Earth and distant stars, causing tiny amounts of dimming that may help explain one of the greatest puzzles in science.

Dark matter could be the result of fermions pushed into a warped fifth dimension. This theory builds on an idea first stated in 1999, but is unique in its findings. Dark matter makes up 75 percent ...

To explain why dark matter particles haven't come up in any direct detection experiments, physicists have wondered if it may be a kind of particle known as an axion. Skip to main content.

Getting warmer. Scientists are keen to get to the bottom of the dark matter puzzle because this phenomenon accounts for the vast majority of the "stuff" in the universe — about 85%, in fact.

They figure dark matter is fundamentally wrong, not something to be tweaked. That makes this new idea rather interesting. In work published on the arXiv preprint server, ...

Dark matter is hypothesized to outweigh "ordinary matter" in the universe by a factor of five. That means all the stuff we see around us on a cosmic level, like stars, planets, ...
