Feb. 6, 2025 — A team of international researchers has developed an innovative approach to uncover the secrets of dark matter in the cosmos. They are searching for dark matter using atomic ...

One of these candidates is so-called light dark matter (LDM), particles with low masses below a few giga-electron volts (GeV/c 2). Theories suggest that these particles could weakly interact with ...

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 ...

Euclid, the European Space Agency's dark Universe detective, has made an astonishing discovery -- right in our cosmic backyard.

Dark matter is invisible ... The symmetron model is one of the most compelling theories of dark energy and it has been tested in a laboratory experiment based on a magnetically levitated force ...

"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 ...
