A mysterious excess of far-ultraviolet light seen across the Milky Way could come from the annihilation of clumpy dark matter ...

Researchers may have identified what could be a compelling clue in the ongoing hunt to prove the existence of dark matter. A mysterious diffuse glow of gamma rays near the center of the Milky Way has ...

Researchers suggest that dark matter might subtly color light red or blue as it passes through, revealing traces of its existence. Using a network-like model of particle connections, they argue that ...

UC Santa Cruz physicist Stefano Profumo has put forward two imaginative but scientifically grounded theories that may help solve one of the biggest mysteries in physics: the origin of dark matter. In ...

In the early 1930s, Swiss astronomer Fritz Zwicky observed galaxies in space moving faster than their mass should allow, prompting him to infer the presence of some invisible scaffolding—dark ...

Smooth filaments stretching for many light-years, seen by the powerful space telescope, could indicate what the right "recipe" is for dark matter.

NASA's Hubble Space Telescope captures the magnificent starry population of the Coma Cluster of galaxies, one of the densest known galaxy collections in the universe — and where the effect of dark ...

This may be remembered as one of the more important physics images of this generation. Credit: Tomonori Totani, The University of Tokyo Physicists from Japan's University of Tokyo have published a new ...

"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'll be an even greater mystery to resolve." When you purchase through links ...

Australian researchers have played a central role in a landmark result from the LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) experiment in South ...

Now is a surreal time to be a dark matter researcher. Even as research funding is being cut by governments around the world, dark matter remains one of the biggest and most exciting open problems in ...

A NASA telescope may have detected evidence of dark matter, enabling it to be “‘seen” for the first time. Since dark matter was conceptualized nearly 100 years ago by Swiss astronomer Fritz Zwicky, ...
