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

The nature of dark matter remains one of the greatest mysteries in cosmology. Within the standard framework of non-collisional cold dark matter (CDM), various models are considered: WIMPs (Weakly ...

Cosmologists are finally beginning to sketch a coherent picture of the universe we cannot see, using exquisitely detailed ...

Smooth filaments stretching for many light-years, seen by the powerful space telescope, could indicate what the right "recipe" is for dark matter.

In the early 1930s, Swiss astronomer Fritz Zwicky observed galaxies in space moving faster than their mass should allow, prompting him to infer the presence of some invisible scaffolding—dark ...

Scientists still don’t know what dark matter is. It doesn’t interact with any electromagnetic force or regular matter except through the gravitational force it exerts. A research team has a come up ...

Like going to the eye doctor for a better pair of specs, astrophysicists are getting some upgraded lenses — both humanmade and natural — for a closer look at dark matter. An international team of ...

An artistic illustration of the mechanism proposed by Professor Stefano Profumo where quantum effects near the rapidly expanding cosmic horizon after the Big Bang gravitationally generate dark matter ...

For nearly a century, dark matter has been the invisible scaffolding of the universe, inferred from its gravitational pull but never directly seen. Now a cluster of independent results, from subtle ...

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 ...
