Two recent studies by Professor Stefano Profumo at the University of California, Santa Cruz, propose theories that attempt to answer one of the most fundamental open questions in modern physics: What ...

Scientists are uncovering dark matter, the biggest secret in the universe, with new detectors built to sense what was once ...

New research puts forward compelling new evidence that dark matter interacts with cosmic "ghost particles" called neutrinos.

A new algorithm will search images of colliding galaxy clusters for evidence of self-interacting dark matter. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s ...

The vast majority of matter is dark – invisible until it is detected only through its gravitational effects. The newly discovered object could be a clump of dark matter, or it could also be a compact, ...

We may have seen the first hints of strange stars powered by dark matter. These so-called dark stars could explain several of the most mysterious objects in the universe, while also giving us hints ...

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 ...

Supermassive black holes typically take billions of years to form. But the James Webb Space Telescope is finding them not that long after the Big Bang — before they should have had time to form. UCLA ...

The dark object has a mass a million times greater than our sun's is located 10 billion light-years away and has no stars. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate ...

An artistic illustration of the mechanism proposed by Professor Stefano Profumo where quantum effects near the rapidly expanding cosmic horizon after the Big Bang gravitationally generate dark matter ...
