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…
Astronomers are using data from NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory, the Hubble Space Telescope, and the NSF’s Jansky Very Large Array to learn more about galaxy…
New research from NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory suggests that the internal structure of a galaxy cluster is linked to the dark matter environment surrounding it….
A new set of calibration techniques employed by LUX scientists has dramatically improved the sensitivity of the LUX Dark Matter Experiment. The Large Underground Xenon…
Astronomers hope that by studying the properties of galaxy clusters at different stages in the history of the Universe they can shed light on the…
A new study proposes the existence of long filaments of dark matter, called “hairs,” which are created when a stream of dark matter particles goes…
A new study from the California Institute of Technology reveals that dwarf galaxy Triangulum II has the highest concentration of dark matter in any known…
The IceCube Collaboration and DM-Ice have announced new observations on cosmic neutrinos and the nature of dark matter. Yale University physicists are part of two…
A team of physicists reproduced the low-density conditions of space to precisely measure dark energy, helping to reveal how strongly dark energy interacts with normal…
Physicists are working on a new theory to detect dark matter. They believe that dark matter particles annihilate into “dark radiation” when they collide and…
The first results from the Kilo-Degree Survey have been released, helping to further expand our understanding of dark matter. The first results have been released…
Using weak gravitational lensing the newly developed Hyper Suprime-Cam on the Subaru telescope has revealed nine large concentrations of dark matter, each the mass of…
Scientists have created the largest single high-definition map of dark matter, helping researchers understand the role that dark matter plays in galaxy formation. Scientists on…
