A mathematical investigation of galactic data suggests elusive dark matter is confined to the rules of gravity.

Does dark matter follow the same laws as ordinary matter? The mystery of this invisible and hypothetical component of our ...

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 ...

Scientists at Rutgers and collaborators have traced the invisible dark matter scaffolding of the universe using over 100,000 Lyman-alpha emitting galaxies. By studying how these galaxies clustered ...

WIMPs (weakly interacting massive particles) are one of the most serious contenders for dark matter—the “missing” mass supposedly constituting 85% of our universe. Given its elusiveness, dark matter ...

Scientists still don’t know what dark matter is. It doesn’t interact with any electromagnetic force or regular matter except through the gravitational force it exerts. A research team has a come up ...

The term ‘nutritional dark matter’ was coined by Hungarian-American physicist, Albert-László Barabási, after he discovered that science tracks only a fraction of the over 26,000 biochemicals in food.

A mysterious glow of gamma rays from the centre of the Milky Way has reignited debate over dark matter. The unexplained radiation, first detected by NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, appears ...

"It's possible we will see the new data and confirm one theory over the other — or maybe we'll find nothing, in which case it ...

Neutrinos are fundamental particles characterized by no electric charge and very small masses, which are known to interact with other matter via the weak force or gravity. While these particles have ...

"If we see the lampshade effect in action, it will tell us about what dark matter could be, which is exciting." Dark matter clumps could act as stellar lampshades, drifting between Earth and distant ...
