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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Astronomers say NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope may have spotted the universe’s first “dark stars,” primordial bodies of hydrogen and helium that bear almost no resemblance to the nuclear ...

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 ...

A recent study by Rajendra Gupta, published in "Galaxies," proposes that cosmic phenomena conventionally ascribed to dark matter and dark energy can be explained by the temporal weakening of ...

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.

Results from the LUX-ZEPLIN experiment, co-founded by UC Santa Barbara physicists, mark a major step in defining what dark matter can and cannot be Determining the nature of dark matter, the invisible ...

For all our telescopes and colliders, dark matter has remained an elusive ghost for the better part of a century. It outweighs everything we see by a factor of five, yet it slips past every detector ...
