Most importantly, this theory dares to explain it all without relying on dark matter or dark energy — two invisible forces that scientists have been hunting for decades but have yet to find.

New evidence suggests that it is undergoing a merging process with another cluster, and a bridge of dark matter has been the crucial clue to find this linked, but previously missed, companion.

He is obsessed with the study of dark matter and a theory that conflicts with the group's model. When he begins to make breakthroughs of his own, he encounters obstructions.

Although we’re still searching for observational evidence of dark matter, scientists haven’t been able to account for about 15 percent of the regular matter in the universe with just stars ...

A potential dark galaxy — one made primarily of dark matter — may have been spotted in the local universe. Dark galaxies are theoretical, starless systems whose discovery could help ...

We want to do a careful job." Normal, or baryonic matter, makes up around 5 percent of the matter-energy distribution of the Universe; the rest is dark matter (27 percent) and dark energy (68 percent) ...

Indian Institute of Astrophysics researchers have revisited the ultra-diffuse galaxy, NGC 1052-DF2, challenging previous assumptions about its dark matter deficiency. The study suggests the galaxy ...

A new idea about cosmic expansion has emerged that might remove the need for dark matter and dark energy altogether. Experts have long debated exotic solutions to explain cosmic acceleration. Now, an ...

Astronomers think regular matter — that is, the stuff that isn't dark matter — makes up about 15% of the universe's total mass. However, for years, researchers have run into a problem when ...

If axions exist, they could explain dark matter, an invisible form of matter inferred from observations of the cosmos. But efforts to spot the particles have been unsuccessful. The newfound axion ...

Dark matter is the unobservable form of matter that could make up as much as 85% of mass in the universe, but scientists are not sure exactly what it is. Axions are one of the leading candidates ...
