Using the separate universe simulations technique, researchers reveal some of the most precise measurements of the local bias – confirming the known trend that more…
A newly published study reveals that the mysterious gamma-ray glow at the center of the Milky Way is most likely caused by pulsars, not dark…
Using powerful supercomputers, astronomers at Durham University reveal further evidence of the existence of dark matter – the mysterious substance that is believed to hold…
Using the Sloan Digital Sky Survey to look at the distribution of dark matter around galaxies, astronomers at the University of Pennsylvania shed new light…
New research reveals that the outer parts of massive disc galaxies 10 billion years ago were rotating less quickly than the spiral galaxies, like the…
A new set of observations of very young galaxies show that they are completely dominated by ‘normal’ matter, suggesting that dark matter plays a much…
A team of astrophysicists has produced one of the highest-resolution maps of dark matter to date, offering a detailed case for the existence of cold…
Using NASA’s Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, a team of astronomers has discovered a signal at the center of the neighboring Andromeda galaxy that could indicate…
Researchers from Yale University are using a new detection device to search for dark matter in the form of axions, a theorized subatomic particle that…
A newly published statistical analysis of mini-spiral galaxies shows an unexpected interaction between dark matter and ordinary matter. The research shows that where the relationship…
Using data from the Kilo Degree Survey, a team of astronomers reveal that dark matter in the cosmic web, which accounts for about one-quarter of…
Physicists from MIT are proposing a new experiment to detect a dark matter particle called the axion. If successful, the effort could crack one of…
New research shows that a recently discovered mysterious X-ray signal most likely originates from sulfur ions, not from dark matter. A mysterious X-ray signal from…
An international team of astronomers has discovered a massive galaxy that consists almost entirely of dark matter. The galaxy, Dragonfly 44, is located in the…
A newly published study from NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center suggests a possible link between primordial black holes and dark matter. Dark matter is a…
Astronomers have discovered a hypervelocity binary star that challenges dark matter and stellar acceleration models. A team of astronomers at the Friedrich Alexander University led…
By studying the spatial distribution of gamma-ray emission in the Milky Way, astronomers believe they have identified a signature of dark matter annihilation. We live…
