A groundbreaking study from the University of York has proposed a revolutionary concept: dark matter, the elusive substance ...

Dark matter comprises around 85% of all the matter in the Universe. Although ordinary matter absorbs, reflects and emits light, dark matter cannot be seen directly, which makes its detection difficult ...

A new theoretical study proposes that light from distant galaxies could be slightly shifted in color by interactions with ...

The mystery of the first galaxies of the universe is an indomitable urge of human beings. The formation of them is mastered by the nature of dark matter which is also one of the most important ...

Dark matter may be a quantum mechanical wave that literally holds galaxies together. Quantum mechanics is our best theory of the fundamental nature of reality, but it's usually only distinguishable ...

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 ...

Dark matter is one of the universe’s most enduring mysteries. Its existence can be intuited by how it affects gravity, and yet no one knows exactly what it is, even though it makes up 27 percent of ...

In fact, the first tantalizing evidence is already in and we take a look. The discovery of the Higgs boson ten years ago in the Large Hadron Collider was the culmination of decades of work and the ...

What if dark matter didn’t exist? Sure, scientists have never observed it, but they believe it exists because of apparent gravitational effects. But what if our current understanding of gravity was ...

Two dark matter experiments have spotted signs of neutrinos knocking into atomic nuclei in their detectors. The finding portends a future obstacle for the detectors, Emily Conover reported in “ ‘Fog’ ...

"Dark matter remains one of the biggest mysteries in physics, and this work shows that we may have been overlooking its subtle chemical effects on the cosmos." Strange events seen at the very heart of ...
