Researchers propose a new theory for the origin of dark matter, the invisible substance thought to give the universe its ...

Researchers repurposed an experiment originally intended to detect gravity, which involved a floating magnet in a ...

Dark matter is more than five times as abundant as all the visible matter in the universe. So why can't we see any of it?

Naturally, there have been several proposed ideas: what if general relativity is wrong; what if dark matter doesn't exist; what if the rate of time isn't uniform; heck, what if the entire universe ...

Besides particles like sterile neutrinos, axions and weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs), a leading candidate for ...

Researchers have an explanation for how dark matter emerged - beginning with weightless particles and ending with massive ...

The standard cosmological model's puzzling inconsistency lies in differing acceleration rates observed in the universe's ...

A research team led by Prof. Wang Huiyuan from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) has made a ...

Dark matter. The invisible glue that holds the universe together. While it is one of the most intriguing concepts in our ...

Dark matter makes up a large portion of the universe, but we've never seen it. Here's what we know, what it might be, and why it could change everything. More than 80% of the universe's matter is ...

In their study, the scientists examined both evolving dark energy and evolving dark matter. Their analysis showed that changing dark matter fits the data more closely.

Dark matter, though invisible, weighs heavily on how we understand the universe. Its gravity sculpts galaxies, holds clusters together, and shapes cosmic evolution—yet we still don’t know what ...
