Dark Matter Season 1 ends with multiple Jasons, heartbreaking choices, and endless possibilities. Here’s a spoiler-filled ...

Modern cosmology assumes dark matter exists. But what makes us so certain that dark matter is the answer—and what if we're wrong? Reading time 8 minutes A huge chunk of the universe is missing. It’s ...

The Big Bang may not mark the absolute beginning of everything. A controversial cosmological model instead treats it as a ...

Researchers have been looking at everything, including supernovas, trying to uncover the mysteries of dark matter. Recent scientific studies suggest that dark matter might not be a particle hiding in ...

We may be more in the dark about dark matter than previously thought, according to a new analysis of distant galaxy clusters. Yale astrophysicist Priyamvada Natarajan, a leading theorist on the nature ...

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 ...

Researchers using new simulations suggest that the Milky Way’s past collisions may have reshaped its dark matter core. This distorted structure could naturally explain the puzzling gamma-ray glow long ...

An unusual gravitational wave signal has renewed hopes that primordial black holes, long considered purely theoretical, may ...

After decades of hunting, physicists still don’t know what makes up most of the universe’s matter. Now they need to cast a wider net.

The absence of a signal could itself be a signal. This is the idea behind a new study published in the Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics, which aims to redefine how we search for dark ...

A new kind of dark matter could help explain some of the universe’s mysteries, a new study suggests. The study proposes that there are dense clumps of “self-interacting dark matter”, or SIDM, each ...
