A gamma ray glow at our galaxy’s center has puzzled scientists for almost two decades. New computer simulations back the theory that dark matter could be the source.

Deep in the heart of our galaxy, there is a faint but powerful glow that has puzzled scientists for more than a decade.

One mile beneath a mountain in Italy, scientists at the Gran Sasso National Laboratory fill a particle detector with liquid xenon, hoping to observe evidence of dark matter. The idea is that, free ...

New research shows that dark matter has a different distribution in our galaxy than previously thought, and that advances ...

Dark matter is one of nature's most confounding mysteries. It keeps particle physicists up at night and cosmologists glued to their supercomputer simulations. We know it's real because its mass ...

It may sound unbelievable, but new research suggests that instead of being featureless, dark matter could actually behave like a cosmic superfluid, forming swirling vortex lines and stable rotating ...

A new algorithm will search images of colliding galaxy clusters for evidence of self-interacting dark matter. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s ...

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 ...

SPOILER ALERT! This story contains plot points from the Apple TV series Dark Matter. Dark Matter, the sci-fi starring Joel Edgerton as a physicist and family man who is abducted into an alternate ...

There's no replacement for displacement. An adage that's been around as long as the combustion engine, really. But these age-old sayings don't really apply anymore when it comes to electric motors.

At the center of our galaxy, there's a mysterious, diffuse glow given off by gamma rays — powerful radiation usually emitted by high-energy objects such as rapidly rotating or exploding stars.NASA's ...
