Astrophysicists found the “clumpiness” of Universe’s dark matter to be 0.76, a figure conflicting with the Cosmic Microwave Background value of 0.83, indicating possible errors…
Researchers propose in a new study that the universe’s lack of clumpiness suggests dark matter is composed of hypothetical, ultra-light particles called axions. If confirmed,…
Using the Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC), a team led by Princeton University has studied the distribution of dark matter and found a discrepancy between the ‘clumpiness’…
What happens if dark-matter particles are produced inside a jet of Standard-Model particles? This leads to a novel detector signature known as semi-visible jets! The…
Research by the Atacama Cosmology Telescope collaboration has culminated in a significant breakthrough in understanding the evolution of the universe. For millennia, humans have been…
Millimeter-wave technologies assist in examining ‘light’ dark matter. Scientists at Kyoto University have developed an experimental method to examine ultra-light dark matter by observing its…
Scientists at Oak Ridge National Laboratory attempted to observe dark matter in a brightly-lit hallway in the basement using the sensitivity of their neutrino detectors….
Phase transition in early universe changes strength of interaction between dark and normal matter. Dark matter remains one of the greatest mysteries of modern physics….
The hypothetical new particles could potentially account for the observations made by the Cosmic Origin Spectrograph on the Hubble Space Telescope. According to a new…
An international research team has made significant progress in the search for dark matter with the use of a precision experiment developed at the University…
New findings lay the foundation for the search for dark matter. How are galaxies born, and what holds them together? Astronomers assume that dark matter…
Although dark matter is a central part of the standard cosmological model, it’s not without its issues. There continue to be nagging mysteries about the…
Studying an atomic clock on-board a spacecraft inside the orbit of Mercury and very near to the Sun might be the trick to uncovering the…
Dark matter makes up about 27% of the matter and energy budget in the universe, but scientists do not know much about it. They do…
An analysis of more than two decades’ worth of supernova explosions convincingly boosts modern cosmological theories and reinvigorates efforts to answer fundamental questions. A powerful…
A University of California, Riverside physicist explains. In a study co-led by physicists at the University of California, Riverside and the University of California, Irvine,…
The dozens of newly identified gravitational lenses could also reveal ancient galaxies. Earlier this year, a machine learning algorithm detected up to 5,000 possible gravitational…
