New research suggests dark matter behaves like normal matter under gravity but leaves room for a weak, unknown force.

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 ...

A bright band of diffuse gamma ray glow along the map's center, which marks the central plane of the Milky Way galaxy, is seen in an undated image based on five years of data from NASA's Fermi ...

Digitally created 3-dimensional starry sky with galaxies, nebulae, gas clouds, black holes and dark matter based on fractal flame mathematics. A fractal flame is a special type of an iterated ...

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, ...

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 ...

Ask most astronomers, and they'll tell you that dark matter and dark energy make up more than 95 percent of the universe and that they are the explanations for many of the large-scale phenomena we ...

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 universe may not only be geometry and energy—but also memory. And in that memory, every moment of cosmic history may still be written. For more than a century, physics has been built on two great ...
