A new computational breakthrough is giving scientists a clearer view into how dark matter structures evolve. Dark matter has remained one of the biggest mysteries in cosmology for almost a hundred ...

Astronomers have proposed a radical idea: dark matter—the mysterious substance making up most of the universe’s mass, might ...

The James Webb Space Telescope is starting to turn a long‑standing cosmic mystery into something that looks almost tangible.

A new theoretical study suggests fusion reactors could do more than generate energy, they might also produce particles linked to dark matter. Researchers at the University of Cincinnati say they have ...

Researchers propose using gas giant planets as dark matter detectors, leveraging their immense gravity to accumulate dark matter particles and induce detectable interactions in their upper atmospheres ...

A new theory suggests fusion reactors could help scientists search for axions, mysterious particles that may explain dark ...

Dark matter and its impact on cosmology have puzzled physicists for nearly a century. At Perimeter Institute, two researchers are trying to better understand how one potential dark matter candidate, ...

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 ...

Normal matter – which makes up everything we see and touch – isn’t the only type of matter present in the universe.

Scientists search for "decaying" dark matter (DDM) because it offers unique signatures like specific X-ray or gamma-ray lines ...

But the Big Bang theory predicts that about 5% of the universe's contents should be atoms made of protons, neutrons and ...
