Does dark matter follow the same laws as ordinary matter? The mystery of this invisible and hypothetical component of our universe—which neither emits nor reflects light—remains unsolved. A team ...

Dark energy and black holes are two of the most mysterious topics when it comes to space, but they might actually be linked.

Evidence of this quantum layer may be coming soon. Here’s what you’ll learn in this story: Physicists are still puzzling over ...

According to the model, dark matter may have started as particles that were hot, light, massless, and fast. As the universe cooled, these particles became heavy, slow, and dark, becoming an invisible ...

New strategies may soon allow scientists to test dark energy theories within our own solar system, linking cosmic-scale physics to local observation. Science advances through a cycle of proposing ...

Although dark matter is invisible, its various effects can still sometimes be seen—such as in this Hubble Space Telescope image of the galaxy cluster Abell 370 some four billion light-years from Earth ...

Dark matter has two central properties: it has mass like regular matter, and unlike regular matter, it reacts weakly or not at all with light. Neutrinos satisfy these two criteria, but neutrinos move ...

Such an exponential expansion may seem minor, but it is equivalent to a grape in the palm of your hand swelling to become ...

Physicists chilled a sugar crystals then used them to search for dark matter. This new project is called SWEET.

Particle physics continues to probe the most fundamental constituents of matter while dark matter research seeks to illuminate the unseen mass that permeates our Universe. Recent efforts have ...

"The new model can account for both structure formation and stability, and the key observational properties of the expansion of the universe at large." A new model of the cosmos does away with the ...

What if I told you that while you can't see dark matter, maybe you can hear it? I know, I know, it sounds crazy…and it is ...
