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

In a significant stride towards understanding the universe’s elusive dark matter, scientists have potentially identified the ...

Scientists at Tel Aviv University have developed a new way to investigate dark matter by studying faint radio waves from the Universe’s earliest era, known as the cosmic dark ages. Their research ...

Among the hundreds of billions of galaxies that stretch across the known universe, even the smallest members can reveal secrets about our cosmic history. But even as we discover new galaxies, ...

Despite it’s comparative size to our star, it’s still the least massive object ever detected using gravitational lensing.

A gamma ray glow at our galaxy’s center has puzzled scientists for almost two decades. New computer simulations back the ...

Researchers have believed that Segue 1, a puny galaxy orbiting the Milky Way just 75,000 light-years away, was packed with dark matter, a substance in space that doesn't shine or interact with light.

A strange glow at the heart of our galaxy might be the long-awaited sign of dark matter, the invisible force believed to shape the cosmos. New findings from Johns Hopkins University and the Leibniz ...

The vast majority of matter is dark – invisible until it is detected only through its gravitational effects. The newly discovered object could be a clump of dark matter, or it could also be a compact, ...

Pulsars, the dense, spinning cores of collapsed stars up to 30 times larger than the sun, are the most likely cause for the gamma-ray glow at the center of the Milky Way, according to an international ...

Only a fraction of the size of the Milky Way, these galaxies have thus far been too faint for most telescopes to spot. Among the hundreds of billions of galaxies that stretch across the known universe ...
