A newly discovered celestial object may be a starless cloud that could change how astronomers understand dark matter.

A strange, starless cloud on the edge of a nearby galaxy is forcing astronomers to confront one of the biggest unknowns in ...

New research puts forward compelling new evidence that dark matter interacts with cosmic "ghost particles" called neutrinos.

Exotic hypothetical particles known as axions could potentially be produced inside a nuclear reactor, something The Big Bang ...

Axions are hypothetical light particles that could solve two different physics problems, as they could explain why some ...

A new computational breakthrough is giving scientists a clearer view into how dark matter structures evolve. Dark matter has ...

In addition, astrophysical observations had revealed that occasionally, white dwarfs would cool off way faster than expected.

Scientists are uncovering dark matter, the biggest secret in the universe, with new detectors built to sense what was once ...

When wading into the murky realm of theoretical physics, one of the more difficult concepts for scientists to explain is that of dark matter. It’s the invisible form of matter constantly eluding ...

A new theoretical study suggests fusion reactors could do more than generate energy, they might also produce particles linked to dark matter. Researchers at the University of Cincinnati say they have ...

Dark matter remains one of the most compelling enigmas in modern cosmology. Although it does not emit light, its gravitational influence is essential for the formation and evolution of cosmic ...

Scientists talk about dark matter an awful lot for something they don’t actually understand very well. They say that it’s important — and that we wouldn’t have stars and galaxies without it — though ...
