The detection of dark matter, an elusive form of matter believed to account for most of the universe's mass, remains a ...

Scientists may be just 15 years away from finally detecting dark matter thanks to a new kind of detector that acts like a ...

Dark matter may have contributed to the formation of giant black holes in the early universe, researchers propose in a new paper. More observations, especially with the James Webb Space Telescope ...

"A starless or 'dark' dark matter halo would have no galaxy at its center." For some time, scientists have pondered a peculiar question: Can galaxies exist without an outer halo of dark matter?

Scientists have designed a 'cosmic radio' detector which could discover dark matter in 15 years. Scientists have designed a 'cosmic radio' detector which could discover dark matter in 15 years.

Astronomers have stumbled upon yet another ghostly galaxy that appears to be devoid of dark matter. First spotted in 2024, FCC 224 is a dwarf galaxy that boasts a dozen luminous, tightly bound ...

A new method for directly detecting ultralight dark matter is proposed, utilizing precision astrometry to measure subtle, distance-dependent fluctuations in spacetime caused by these particles.

Every galaxy is thought to form at the center of a dark matter halo. Stars are formed when gravity within dark matter halos draws in gas, but astrophysicists don't know whether star-free dark ...

Dark matter is a hypothetical substance that outweighs regular matter – which makes stars, planets, and everything we can see and touch – by five to one. But we don’t know what it is.

Indian Institute of Astrophysics researchers have revisited the ultra-diffuse galaxy, NGC 1052-DF2, challenging previous assumptions about its dark matter deficiency. The study suggests the galaxy ...

This proposal, outside the conventional understanding of physics, was to explain the effects of dark matter and dark energy, two hypothetical features that are at the cornerstone of the standard ...
