An international collaboration, including Northwestern University, has reached a critical milestone in the search for dark ...

Astronomers working with NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope have produced the sharpest wide-area map of dark matter ever ...

Forces have mediator particles. Electromagnetism is mediated by the photons, for example. So most of the decay of this excited dark matter particle would be this unknown mediator. The excited state ...

Dark matter is an elusive type of matter that does not emit, absorb or reflect light, interacting very weakly with ordinary matter. These characteristics make it impossible to detect using ...

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 ...

T he first time I heard about galaxies without dark matter, I was sitting in my very first graduate class at the University ...

For decades, scientists have searched for heavy dark matter particles, but no method has ever been able to detect them. The SWEET project was developed by a team of researchers to detect sugar ...

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 ...

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 ...
