In simulations, collisions cause smaller star groupings to lose material. An international team of astrophysicists report how, when tiny galaxies collide with bigger ones, the…
The technologies behind one of the biggest scientific breakthroughs of the century – the detection of gravitational waves – are now being used in the…
How Dark Matter Could Be Measured in the Solar System Pictures of the Milky Way show billions of stars arranged in a spiral pattern radiating…
Incredibly sensitive instruments used in landmark discoveries could help solve one of the biggest remaining mysteries in the Universe. The technology behind one of the…
Sensor network GNOME publishes comprehensive data in Nature Physics for the first time — Nine stations in six countries involved. An international team of researchers…
Astronomers are one step closer to revealing the properties of dark matter enveloping our Milky Way galaxy, thanks to a new map of twelve streams…
“There need to be more building blocks than the ones we know about,” says the particle physicist. Kerstin Perez is searching for imprints of dark…
Upending textbook explanations, astrophysicists from the University of Miami, Yale University, and the European Space Agency suggest that primordial black holes account for all dark…
Researchers study cosmic expansion using methods from many-body physics. It is almost always assumed in cosmological calculations that there is an even distribution of matter…
Gravitational waves are cosmic ripples in the fabric of space and time that emanate from catastrophic events in space, like collisions of black holes and…
An international team of astronomers led by researchers from the Netherlands has found no trace of dark matter in the galaxy AGC 114905, despite taking…
The hunt for gravitational waves, ripples in space and time caused by major cosmic cataclysms, could help solve one of the Universe’s other burning mysteries…
Astronomers at The University of Texas at Austin’s McDonald Observatory have discovered an unusually massive black hole at the heart of one of the Milky…
To understand how the universe formed, astronomers have created AbacusSummit, more than 160 simulations of how gravity may have shaped the distribution of dark matter….
A team of scientists has forecast the scientific impact of the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope’s High Latitude Wide Area Survey on critical questions in…
In the search for dark matter particles, a tabletop experiment in the heart of a Canadian mine might do the trick. The SENSEI collaboration uses…
Using Neutron Stars To Detect Dark Matter The search for dark matter may need a detector larger than we can build on Earth, but it…
The galaxy NGC 1052-DF2 resides in a field of galaxies about sixty-five million light-years away. Its low mass, only about two hundred million solar-masses, makes…
