Dark matter is thought to outnumber regular matter by a factor of five to one – so why can’t we find the stuff? A new study ...

Astronomers just unlocked the mystery of "ghost stars," and now another team of scientists are on the verge of solving another mystery. A team of scientists has made a thrilling discovery in ...

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

The night sky may harbour invisible "boson stars," made from a form of matter that doesn't emit light. These stars could be part of the universe's hidden content, potentially linked to dark matter.

detected by instruments aboard the International Space Station (ISS), could have been produced by a new category of particles known as Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs). These WIMPs are ...

In this paper we review how these techniques are applied to several cases like the secular drift of the Newton gravitational constant, neutrino magnetic moments, axions and weakly interacting massive ...

(That would be far too easy.) Instead, the primary theory of dark matter says that it is made of hypothetical particles called Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs), which are about as well ...

The evidence for dark matter comes from astronomical and cosmological observations. Theoretical particle physics provides us with various well motivated candidates, such as weakly interacting massive ...

For a couple of decades, we thought we were on the right track with a new kind of particle known as a weakly interacting massive particle ... of the heavier known particles, like the top quark.
