Dark matter is increasingly puzzling. Around the world, physicists have been trying for decades to determine the nature of these matter particles, which do not…
The South Pole Telescope (SPT) is a 10-meter-diameter telescope in the Antarctic that has been operating at millimeter- and submillimeter-waves for a decade; the CfA…
Just how quickly is the dark matter near Earth zipping around? The speed of dark matter has far-reaching consequences for modern astrophysical research, but this…
An innovative interpretation of X-ray data from a cluster of galaxies could help scientists fulfill a quest they have been on for decades: determining the…
A whole lot of zig-zagging: Perhaps that is what happens when the universe’s mysterious dark matter particles hit the Earth. SDU researchers can now show…
University of Sussex researchers have disproved the existence of a specific type of axion, an important candidate ‘dark matter’ particle, across a wide range of…
New analysis of data from the BaBar experiment rules out theorized particle’s explanation for muon mystery. In its final years of operation, a particle collider…
Physicists have now come up with a new theory on how dark matter may have been formed, proposing an alternative to the WIMP paradigm. Only…
New results from the Dark Energy Survey (DES) reveal the most accurate measurement of dark matter structure in the universe, and support the view that…
Astronomers have compared the Hubble image of Abell 2744 to simulations of dark matter lensing and found excellent agreement, indicating that current models of dark…
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…
