Kavli IPMU researchers are part of an international team that has found dark matter dominating the halos of two supermassive ...
Researchers propose a new physics model suggesting dark matter played a crucial role in the rapid formation of 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 ...
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 ...
"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 ...
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 ...
That’s how much of what’s floating about in the cosmos is ordinary matter—planets and stars and galaxies and the dust and gas between them. The other 95% is dark matter and dark energy ...
Scientists call that dark matter, because it does not interact with light and is invisible. In the 1970s, American ...
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 ...
