The existence of dark matter has been a prevailing theory used to explain the anomalies observed in the universe.
Apr. 5, 2024 — Scientists may be one step closer to unlocking one of the great mysteries of the universe after calculating that neutron stars might hold a key to helping us understand elusive ...
In AppleTV+’s “Dark Matter” mini-series, Joel Edgerton’s Chicago physicist is suddenly confronted with an alternate identity ...
Dark matter is understood to interact “feebly” with the visible universe, but was that always true? Physicists have modeled the inflaton—a theoretical space scientists use to examine the ...
Computer simulations by astronomers support the idea that dark matter -- matter that no one has yet directly detected but which many physicists think must be there to explain several aspects of the ...
Approximately 80% of the matter in the universe is predicted to be so-called "dark matter," which does not emit, reflect, or ...
The proposed new dark matter detection method would look for frequent interactions between nuclei in a detector and low-energy dark matter that may be present in and around Earth. (Right) A ...
Approximately 80% of the matter in the universe is predicted to be so-called "dark matter," which does not emit, reflect, or absorb light and thus cannot be directly detected using conventional ...
