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…
This ambitious program will study half a million galaxies in a field the size of three full Moons. Peering deeply into a huge patch of…
Physicists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have linked together, or “entangled,” the mechanical motion and electronic properties of a tiny blue…
Scientists offer new theory to explain the origin of monsters of the cosmos. When astronomers use telescopes to look back in time—toward objects in the…
For many years now, astronomers and physicists have been in a conflict. Is the mysterious dark matter that we observe deep in the Universe real,…
The most accurate distance measurement yet of ultra-diffuse galaxy (UDG) NGC1052-DF2 (DF2) confirms beyond any shadow of a doubt that it is lacking in dark…
UC Riverside-led study points to a seed black hole produced by a dark matter halo collapse. Supermassive black holes, or SMBHs, are black holes with…
Scientists estimate that dark matter and dark energy together are some 95% of the gravitational material in the universe while the remaining 5% is baryonic…
The spin of the Milky Way’s galactic bar, which is made up of billions of clustered stars, has slowed by about a quarter since its…
“Sterile neutrinos” are theoretically predicted new particles that offer an intriguing possibility in the quest for understanding the dark matter in our universe. Unlike the…
