Kavli IPMU researchers are part of an international team that has found dark matter dominating the halos of two supermassive ...

The rest of the universe appears to be made of a mysterious, invisible substance called dark matter (25 percent) and a force that repels gravity known as dark energy (70 percent). Scientists have ...

This color charge would make them unique among ... byproduct of the more mundane black holes that could explain dark matter ...

Dark matter makes up most of the matter in the universe, but scientists still have much to learn about this mysterious material. At Live Science, we follow the monumental research seeking answers ...

Observing the interactions between dark matter and so-called "dark photons" during a period after the Big Bang called the "cosmic dawn" could help shed light on the universe's most mysterious and ...

Yet despite researchers’ best efforts over decades to work out the nature of this “dark matter” – to find some clue direct or indirect as to what it’s made of, or even make it in the lab ...

Here’s how it works. Galaxies may be anchored to giant "dark stars" — clumps of invisible matter sitting at their cores, new research suggests. Although astronomers have an abundance of ...

"It marks an exciting step forward in our understanding of dark matter and the dynamics of the Milky Way." A perplexing "break" in a stream of stars around the Milky Way could be the result of ...

Our current cosmological model—known as lambda cold dark matter, or ΛCDM—relies on hypothesized dark energy to explain the accelerating expansion of the universe. However, one competing ...

Dark matter, predicted to account for most of the universe's mass, remains highly elusive. Physicists have been searching for various particles that could be promising dark matter candidates ...

How’s this even possible? This is where the concept of dark matter comes into play. Scientists believe that galaxies have invisible mass in the form of matter that doesn’t interact with light.
