Astronomers at the University of Alabama in Huntsville may have found the closest evidence yet of a hidden clump of dark matter near the Sun. Led by astrophysicist Sukanya Chakrabarti, the research ...

Astronomers propose that an ultra-dense clump of exotic dark matter could be masquerading as the powerful object thought to ...

Researchers have been looking at everything, including supernovas, trying to uncover the mysteries of dark matter. Recent scientific studies suggest that dark matter might not be a particle hiding in ...

Dark matter is a mysterious type of matter that does not emit, absorb, or reflect light, yet is predicted to account for most ...

A recent study by Rajendra Gupta, published in "Galaxies," proposes that cosmic phenomena conventionally ascribed to dark matter and dark energy can be explained by the temporal weakening of ...

Scientists suggests that a primordial black hole's death could be behind a mystery high-energy neutrino that crashed into ...

Dark matter is an elusive type of matter that does not emit, absorb or reflect light, interacting very weakly with ordinary matter. These characteristics make it impossible to detect using ...

Researchers using new simulations suggest that the Milky Way’s past collisions may have reshaped its dark matter core. This distorted structure could naturally explain the puzzling gamma-ray glow long ...

Astronomers have spent decades hunting for dark matter by looking for light that isn’t ...
