The aptly named SWEET project was developed by a team of researchers to use sugar crystals for detecting hypothetical light ...

A new study suggests the Milky Way’s gamma-ray glow could be a dark matter signal shaped by ancient galactic mergers.

For more than half a century, scientists have tried to understand dark matter—a mysterious form of matter that doesn’t emit or absorb light but is thought to make up most of the universe’s mass. Its ...
