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 ...

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, ...

Apple TV+ has become the premiere home for all the best sci-fi shows, and one of the streamer’s most successful creations from 2024 was Dark Matter. Based on the novel of the same name by Blake Crouch ...

Scientists may have "seen" dark matter for the first time, thanks to NASA's Fermi gamma-ray space telescope. If so, this would mark the first direct detection of the universe's most mysterious ...

Our common understanding of the universe tells us that all matter and energy were created at the beginning of time during a period of rapid inflation called the Big Bang. However, in 2023, Katherine ...

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 ...

The universe is packed with riddles, but few are as stubborn or as fascinating as dark matter. First proposed in 1933 by astronomer Fritz Zwicky, this elusive substance refuses to play by the rules: ...

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 ...

The new model is called WIFI, which stands for dark matter production during Warm Inflation via Freeze-In. According to a new model, dark matter particles (black dots) began forming as the universe ...

Dark matter is one of nature's most confounding mysteries. It keeps particle physicists up at night and cosmologists glued to their supercomputer simulations. We know it's real because its mass ...

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 ...
