How could we finally observe dark matter in an original way, this invisible substance that makes up the greatest part of the ...

First and perhaps most perplexingly, researchers remain unsure about what exactly dark matter is. Originally, some scientists ...

Cosmic dawn galaxies seen by JWST reveal hidden clues about dark matter and keep rival theories about its true nature alive.

A new study by researchers at the University of Amsterdam shows how gravitational waves from black holes can be used to reveal the presence of dark matter and help determine its properties. The key is ...

Scientists may have observed dark matter directly for the first time, using data from NASA's Fermi gamma-ray space telescope - a finding that, if verified, would mark a major shift in modern physics, ...

Gamma-ray halo at the Milky Way’s center matches predictions of dark-matter models The data, collected by NASA, shows an extended halo-shaped emission at around 20 gigaelectronvolts. For illustrative ...

Now is a surreal time to be a dark matter researcher. Even as research funding is being cut by governments around the world, dark matter remains one of the biggest and most exciting open problems in ...

For over a century, one of the most mysterious components of the universe, dark matter, has kept scientists perplexed due to its enigmatic nature. Finally after a 100-years long search, the ...

NASA's Hubble Space Telescope captures the magnificent starry population of the Coma Cluster of galaxies, one of the densest known galaxy collections in the universe — and where the effect of dark ...

Few things in the universe are as perplexing as dark matter — the invisible and exotic “stuff” that is thought to make up most of the matter in galaxies. The theory goes like this: To reconcile our ...

Using NASA's Fermi telescope, researchers have detected powerful gamma–ray radiation emerging from a 'halo–like' structure surrounding the Milky Way. Its frequency and intensity suggest that this ...

A NASA telescope may have detected evidence of dark matter, enabling it to be “‘seen” for the first time. Since dark matter was conceptualized nearly 100 years ago by Swiss astronomer Fritz Zwicky, ...
