A combination of observational data and sophisticated computer simulations have yielded advances in a field of astrophysics that has languished for half a century. The…
Theoretical physicists of the PRISMA+ Cluster of Excellence at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) are working on a theory that goes beyond the Standard Model of…
Findings suggest the first galaxies in the universe were more massive than previously thought. The Milky Way is surrounded by dozens of dwarf galaxies that…
What Is Dark Matter? Dark matter accounts for five times as much of the universe as ordinary matter. However, we know little about it other…
Scientists have calculated the mass range for Dark Matter – and it’s tighter than the science world thought. Their findings – due to be published…
Search for Axions From Nearby Star Betelgeuse Comes Up Empty Results significantly narrow the range of possible places to find the hypothetical dark matter particles….
Researchers say they may have found proof of theorized axions, and possibly dark matter, around a group of neutron stars. A new study, led by…
The universe is getting hotter, a new study has found. The study, published in the Astrophysical Journal, probed the thermal history of the universe over the…
It is well known that the expansion of the universe is accelerating due to a mysterious dark energy. Within galaxies, stars also experience an acceleration,…
In the 1970s, physicists uncovered a problem with the Standard Model of particle physics—the theory that describes three of the four fundamental forces of nature…
The new atomic clock design, which uses entangled atoms, could help scientists detect dark matter and study gravity’s effect on time. Atomic clocks are the…
Team of international collaborators detect ‘external field effect,’ a prediction unique to MOND, rival dark matter hypothesis. An international group of scientists, including Case Western…
Using Planck data from the cosmic microwave background radiation, an international team of researchers has observed a hint of new physics. The team developed a…
A cavity partitioned into multiple identical cells provides a highly efficient path to high-frequency axion dark matter searches. Despite its vanishingly tiny mass, the existence…
PRISMA+ scientists propose exotic low-mass fields as new messengers of astrophysical events. Cataclysmic astrophysical events such as black hole mergers could release energy in unexpected…
MIT grad student Chiara Salemi and Professor Lindley Winslow use the ABRACADABRA instrument to reveal insights into dark matter. On the first floor of MIT’s…
The effect that nearly massless, subatomic particles called neutrinos have on the formation of galaxies has long been a cosmological mystery—one that physicists have sought…
