Neutron stars with a penchant for extreme spinning could be churning out one of the most sought-after particles in the Universe.
Two giant clusters of galaxies observed in the process of colliding are going so hard that their dark matter has basically detached from normal matter and flown ahead.
Dark matter could provide supermassive black holes the brakes they need to bring them crashing together at the end of a long, spiraling journey towards their destiny.
The two new satellites, named Virgo III and Sextans II, were discovered in a region of space already crowded with more dwarf galaxies than models of dark matter predict.
An infrared glow high up in the atmosphere of Jupiter could be produced by an interaction with dark matter.
Strange thing about our galaxy's nucleus, according to new research: stars that stay young indefinitely by feeding off dark matter particles.
Scientists have grappled with the fundamental forces that govern our universe, chief among them being gravity, and more recently, dark matter.
The Euclid mission, led by ESA (the European Space Agency) with contributions from NASA, has released five new images that showcase the space telescope’s ability to explore two large-scale cosmic mysteries: dark matter and dark energy.
The current theoretical model for the composition of the universe is that it’s made of ‘normal matter,’ ‘dark energy’ and ‘dark matter.’ A new study challenges this.
New research suggests that the so-called clumpiness problem, which centers on the unexpectedly even distribution of matter on large scales throughout the Universe, may be a sign that dark matter is composed of hypothetical, ultra-light particles.
The curvature of space-time around a colossal mass has yielded the most detailed measurement of the cosmic distribution of dark matter yet.
A newly discovered star is so large, bright, and strange that its appearance could be pointing us towards a clump of dark matter in the sky.
International research has found the first evidence of a massive galaxy with no dark matter. The result is a challenge to the current standard model of cosmology.
In a first, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) may have glimpsed a rare type of star that astronomers aren’t even sure exists. These “dark stars” might not have been fueled not by nuclear fusion but by the self-annihilation of dark matter.
There could have been two scenarios with the two Big Bangs. The Hot Big Bang, as in the standard picture, creates the hot plasma of visible matter and radiation and the dark matter, however, could have been created in a later, ‘darker’ Big Bang.
