A new computational breakthrough is giving scientists a clearer view into how dark matter structures evolve. Dark matter has ...

Axions are hypothetical light particles that could solve two different physics problems, as they could explain why some ...

New research puts forward compelling new evidence that dark matter interacts with cosmic "ghost particles" called neutrinos.

Exotic hypothetical particles known as axions could potentially be produced inside a nuclear reactor, something The Big Bang ...

In addition, astrophysical observations had revealed that occasionally, white dwarfs would cool off way faster than expected.

When wading into the murky realm of theoretical physics, one of the more difficult concepts for scientists to explain is that of dark matter. It’s the invisible form of matter constantly eluding ...

NASA's Hubble Space Telescope captures the magnificent starry population of the Coma Cluster of galaxies, one of the densest known galaxy collections in the universe — and where the effect of dark ...

Dark matter remains one of the most compelling enigmas in modern cosmology. Although it does not emit light, its gravitational influence is essential for the formation and evolution of cosmic ...

Scientists talk about dark matter an awful lot for something they don’t actually understand very well. They say that it’s important — and that we wouldn’t have stars and galaxies without it — though ...
