Studying the interactions between light and gas in intergalactic space, SISSA scientists are trying to unravel the composition of the universe. Moving through cosmic forests…
A team of physicists and computer scientists at ETH Zurich has developed a new approach to the problem of dark matter and dark energy in…
A new mathematical model suggests dark matter may have been produced before the Big Bang during cosmic inflation, when space was expanding rapidly. Researchers believe…
A group of researchers from the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) has clarified one of the mysteries of 2018 in the field of extragalactic…
How do you observe a process that takes more than one trillion times longer than the age of the universe? The XENON Collaboration research team…
A Yale-led team of researchers is doubling down on its earlier finding of a galaxy with almost no dark matter. In 2018, the researchers published…
Researchers from Russia, Finland, and the U.S. have put a constraint on the theoretical model of dark matter particles by analyzing data from astronomical observations…
Scientists have found evidence that dark matter can be heated up and moved around, as a result of star formation in galaxies. The findings provide…
A new look at Hubble images of galaxies could be a step toward illuminating the elusive nature of dark matter, the unobservable material that makes…
For one brief shining moment after the 2015 detection of gravitational waves from colliding black holes, astronomers held out hope that the universe’s mysterious dark…
Researchers at the University of Bonn and the University of California at Irvine used sophisticated computer simulations to devise a test that could answer a…
Astronomers have proposed a new model for the invisible material that makes up most of the matter in the Universe. They have studied whether a…
Astronomers using ESA’s XMM-Newton space observatory have probed the gas-filled haloes around galaxies in a quest to find ‘missing’ matter thought to reside there, but…
Astronomers studying the motions of galaxies and the character of the cosmic microwave background radiation came to realize in the last century that most of…
University of Miami astrophysicist Nico Cappelluti studies the sky. An assistant professor in the Physics Department, Cappelluti is intrigued by the cosmic phenomena of super…
New result draws on 30 years of research and development and begins the definitive search for axion particles. Forty years ago, scientists theorized a new…
Astronomers are back in the dark about what dark matter might be, after new observations showed the mysterious substance may not be interacting with forces…
Astrophysicists from the University of Surrey and the University of Edinburgh have created a new method to measure the amount of dark matter at the…
