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 ...

Dark matter is a hypothetical substance that outweighs regular matter – which makes stars, planets, and everything we can see and touch – by five to one. But we don’t know what it is.

"A starless or 'dark' dark matter halo would have no galaxy at its center." For some time, scientists have pondered a peculiar question: Can galaxies exist without an outer halo of dark matter?

Scientists have designed a 'cosmic radio' detector which could discover dark matter in 15 years. Scientists have designed a 'cosmic radio' detector which could discover dark matter in 15 years.

Dark Matter is one of the band’s songs that carries a deep meaning. Though the song isn’t as well-known as some of their biggest hits, it has garnered attention for its thought-provoking ...

But in a new study, published in Physical Review Letters, we show that both could be linked to one of the most elusive ingredients in the universe: dark matter. In particular, we propose that a ...

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.

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.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
