New data reveals a 3-million-light-year filament connecting two galaxies, each of which hosts a supermassive black hole.

Dark matter might not interact with regular particles at all, or the interaction might happen through some exotic mechanism that doesn't involve the Higgs. But those models are few and far between ...

Quark Nugget Dark Matter (QNDM) models propose that dark matter could exist in the form of dense, stable objects made from quarks and gluons, known as axion quark nuggets (AQNs). These models aim ...

Scientists have taken a bold step toward understanding dark matter, the invisible force shaping the cosmos. Using atomic ...

The reason we call dark matter dark isn't that it's some shadowy ... In a nutshell, the predictions of the standard model of the universe appear to be at odds with some recent observations.

Dark matter is a hypothetical form of matter believed to be everywhere, outnumbering regular matter (what we're made of) 5-to ...

And there are no particles in the hugely successful Standard Model of particle physics that could be the dark matter—it must be something quite exotic. This has led to the rival idea that the ...

Dark energy and dark matter refers to the unseen energy and ... for the accelerating expansion of the Universe. The symmetron model is one of the most compelling theories of dark energy and ...

My current effort is focused on searches for evidence of physics beyond the standard model of particle physics including searches for supersymmetry, exotic dark matter models, and lepton flavor ...

Dark matter can't be too heavy or it might break our best model of the universe, new research suggests. We have an abundance of evidence that something fishy is happening in the universe.
