This video explores the enigma of dark matter, an elusive substance believed to make up most of the universe's matter. While ...

Researchers have been looking at everything, including supernovas, trying to uncover the mysteries of dark matter. Recent scientific studies suggest that dark matter might not be a particle hiding in ...

The first time I heard about galaxies without dark matter, I was sitting in my very first graduate class at the University of São Paulo. A team had found a small, strange galaxy that appeared to ...

There are excesses of gamma-ray emissions from the center of the Milky Way that are not fully understood. It has been hypothesized that dark matter could be responsible for it, though there has not ...

Now scientists think fusion reactors could recreate theoretical dark matter particles, so-called axions, and give researchers a better handle on dark matter’s physical properties and behavior. One of ...

The universe is overrun with dark matter, outweighing the ordinary stuff that stars and planets are made of five-to-one. But some corners of the cosmos are more dominated by the i ...

Our Milky Way galaxy may not have a supermassive black hole at its center but rather an enormous clump of mysterious dark matter exerting the same gravitational influence, astronomers say. They ...

In the early 1930s, Swiss astronomer Fritz Zwicky observed galaxies in space moving faster than their mass should allow, prompting him to infer the presence of some invisible scaffolding—dark ...

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 ...

This new map is not only the most detailed view of the universe’s invisible scaffolding to date, it also allows astronomers to look deeper into cosmic history. Reading time 3 minutes Dark matter—the ...

(via Sabine Hossenfelder) Physicists don’t actually know what the universe is really made of. The currently most popular theory is that most of the universe is made of dark matter, a mysterious type ...

The hero is regular matter, which is everything we can see around us. Antimatter is the mirror-image explosive twin that ...
