Dark matter isn’t visible to the human eye, or even telescopes, but there is an ingenious way to map its presence across the universe.

However, dark matter is harder to study than even that, because it does not come conveniently clumped into super-dense balls like stars and black holes -- that would be far too easy.Instead, the ...

The team is now presenting the dark matter map based on the imaging data taken by April 2016. This is only 11 % of the planned final map, but it is already unprecedentedly wide.

Dark matter makes up a large portion of the universe, but we've never seen it. Here's what we know, what it might be, and why it could change everything. More than 80% of the universe's matter is ...

We can't see dark matter, but scientists have made the largest map yet of the invisible material that helps make up the universe. Researchers used a dark energy camera and a large telescope to ...

Dark matter and dark energy are indications that the theories are wrong. Giorgios (Gio) Vassiliou June 21, 2020 04:44 AM Principle of Preservation of Energy and Momentum and dark mattet detection.

This giant map of invisible dark matter recorded in four directions by the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope during each season of the year was released on Jan. 9, 2012.

Remarkably, the map also details the directional "flow" of dark matter, as denoted by arrows. "Having a local map of the cosmic web opens up a new chapter of cosmological study," Jeong said.

WIMPs, by contrast, are “cold dark matter” (CDM), meaning they move sluggishly and can collect into galactic halos just fine. A typical WIMP model predicts dark matter particles to be at least ...

What was left was basically a map of all the dark matter in a straight line between Earth and the distant quasar, at a resolution of about 30,000 light years.

Thus, dark matter's gravitational impact is extremely spread out and, it turns out, can only be observed when we look at the large-scale distribution of visible matter in the universe: things like ...
