Dark stars were first suggested in 2007, but now observations with the James Webb Space Telescope hint that we may have ...

Scientists have spent two decades investigating the magnetic properties of muons, subatomic particles that pass through our ...

In a study published in May 2024, she and colleagues looked at other potential effects of excessive heat in the early universe from dark matter. Under some scenarios, this higher temperature might ...

A single dose cleared the boy’s symptoms. After this early success, d’Hérelle continued to explore phage therapy’s potential. For example, he participated in a clinical trial against ...

Scientists have just slashed the potential hiding spaces for dark matter particles. The LUX-ZEPLIN, or LZ, experiment has searched for and ruled out the existence of dark matter particles with a ...

Does dark matter interact with itself? The answer may lie in vast clusters of colliding galaxies. Dark matter is notoriously antisocial, refusing to interact with light and "normal" matter ...

Ultrafine dark matter, millions of times lighter than electrons, could flow through the cosmos in waves. We might just have an easy way to check for tiny interactions between this dark matter and ...

It’s there, he said, that a soon-to-be-constructed experiment will see—or quickly rule out—one of the most popular new candidates for dark matter ... signal of potential axion interactions.

It is impossible for a telescope to image and far from being completely understood, yet dark matter is everywhere. The deepest mysteries about dark matter relate to its nature and behavior.

An exotic, ultracold state of matter on Earth is helping scientists study the behavior of "fuzzy" dark matter. Dark matter is an invisible form of matter that makes up about 85% of the matter in ...

Decades ago, astrophysicists brimmed with hope of discovering dark matter, the unseen mass that lets galaxies spin far faster than their stars’ gravity would allow by itself. But underground ...
