Galaxies are far more than the sum of their stars. Long before stars even formed, dark matter clumped up and drew regular matter together with its gravity, providing the invisible scaffolding upon ...

Computer simulations by astronomers support the idea that dark matter -- matter that no one has yet directly detected but which many physicists think must be there to explain several aspects of the ...

A new model suggests dark matter may be more complex than a single substance, potentially reshaping how scientists interpret hidden structures across the universe.

The team behind Europe's Euclid space telescope just published the world's most extensive simulation of the universe, which ...

Physicists have proposed turning piezoelectric crystals, the same materials found in quartz watches and microphone pickups, into detectors for axion dark matter. The idea, called the piezoaxionic ...

Computer simulations designed and run by researchers at the University of California-Irvine suggest that dark matter does in fact exist and is a central part of explaining how the universe works. The ...

In this visualization, each dot represents a gas parcel with a mass approximately 1,000 times that of the Sun in the simulation of the cosmic Dark Ages. The left and right panels compare the cold and ...

An international collaboration, including Northwestern University, has reached a critical milestone in the search for dark ...

Six thousand eight hundred feet below the floor of an active nickel mine in northern Ontario, something has gone extremely ...

With less than 20 percent of all physical matter made from visible stuff—from stars and planets, to the kitchen sink—astronomers continue to hypothesize what form the invisible majority of the ...

This is interesting of course, but the article suffers from problems. Besides the missing article link, the linked spiral arm dynamical mass excess observations are not explained by dark matter as it ...
