An international team of researchers has found dark matter dominating the halos of two supermassive black holes in galaxies ...

An innovative approach in the search for dark matter using space/time-separated atomic clocks and lasers has yielded ...

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

The majority of our evidence for dark matter’s existence comes from observing visible (or baryonic) matter that does not ...

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 ...

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 ...

A cosmic tug of war If dark matter lies on one side of a magnet, pulling matter together, then you’ll flip it over to find dark energy, pushing it apart. “You can think of it as a cosmic tug ...

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 ...

But most physicists think that dark matter is probably made up of a type of particle called "weakly interacting massive particles" or WIMPs. But researchers just can't find them. Many detectors ...

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 ...

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 ...
