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?

The true nature of dark matter is still one of the greatest mysteries in contemporary physics, even though scientists have ...

These two properties of axions mean that they are exceptionally good at collapsing down to incredibly high densities, pulled ...

Observations from the James Webb Space Telescope reveal monster black holes in the early universe that seem to have grown too ...

Featuring the world’s largest digital camera, the Vera C. Rubin Observatory will capture these mysterious phenomena in more ...

Researchers propose a new physics model suggesting dark matter played a crucial role in the rapid formation of supermassive ...

A final, and controversial, suggestion is that dark matter doesn’t exist at all, and we’ve simply got our theories of gravity all wrong. But Einstein’s general theory of relativity ...

An international team of researchers has found dark matter dominating the halos of two supermassive black holes in galaxies roughly 13 billion light years away. Their study, published in The ...

If axions are the main components of dark matter, they would be very hard to detect. Even so, theory predicts that real axions can convert into photons in a powerful 10 Tesla magnetic field ...

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 ...

Space-time may hide a bizarre new kind of black hole that causes Einstein’s theory of gravity to fail – and could solve the ...
