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

We could go out with a crunch, and not a bang. Contrary to popular belief, our universe may not be constantly expanding after ...

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

Studies suggest that the universe's expansion is decelerating — but what could that mean for the future of the cosmos?

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

Dark matter, the mysterious substance that makes up roughly 80 percent of all the matter in the universe, may have been forged before our cosmos was even born. Scientists have long theorized as to ...

New research explores how gravitational waves from black hole systems could help scientists study dark matter, using improved models and future detectors like LISA ...

But there are several important anomalies, including a widely debated one called the Hubble tension. It is named after Edwin ...

Searches for dark matter particles have come up empty so far, driving theorists to get more creative with their ideas.

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

The universe is made up of three components: normal or visible matter (5%), dark matter (27%), and dark energy (68%). NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center From stars and galaxies to the shoes on your ...

Mysterious blasts of radio waves from across the universe called fast radio bursts help astronomers catalog matter. ESO/M. Kornmesser, CC BY-SA If you look across space with a telescope, you’ll see ...
