First and perhaps most perplexingly, researchers remain unsure about what exactly dark matter is. Originally, some scientists conjectured that the missing mass in the universe was made up of small ...

Perhaps cold dark matter particles undergo a similar oscillatory effect. The authors find that the best fit to observational ...

In a first-of-its-kind test, scientists used a levitated magnet to search for dark matter, the unidentified substance believed to be present throughout the cosmos. If dark matter is made up of ...

Join us on a mind-bending journey through history and science as we explore the invisible force shaping our universe and challenge the prevailing theories. Is dark matter fact or fiction?

Naturally, there have been several proposed ideas: what if general relativity is wrong; what if dark matter doesn't exist; what if the rate of time isn't uniform; heck, what if the entire universe ...

Dark matter may have started as light-like particles that abruptly became heavy—a cosmic twist rooted in spin and ...

Dartmouth researchers propose a novel theory suggesting dark matter originated from high-energy, massless particles in the early universe. These particles collided and rapidly gained mass ...

On what might have been the proudest day of Jack Burns’s long career in astronomy, he was sitting on a beach. Orbital ...

In ΛCDM, Λ refers to the cosmological constant – a parameter introduced by Albert Einstein to counter the effect of gravity ...

But when scientists peer very far back, they find conundrums. JWST observations of the distant past are at odds with ...

A new study by researchers at Dartmouth College offers a fresh explanation about the origin of dark matter — the mysterious, invisible substance believed to hold the universe together and give ...
