Dark matter (DM) is a type of matter estimated to account for 80% of the universe's total mass, but it cannot be directly ...

New research suggests that primordial black holes created during the Big Bang could have played a major role in forming the ...

This particular isotope burns away quickly inside stars due to their intense heat. But in cooler objects like brown dwarfs, ...

"Dark matter could be captured by stars and accumulate inside them. If that happens, it might also interact with itself and annihilate, releasing energy that heats the star." ...

Yasa, a small British engineering company, built an over-730-horsepower beast that weighs just under 30 pounds.

Although it hasn’t detected dark matter yet, its developers say it offers an alternative path that is worth exploring ...

But axions were pushed aside as the WIMPs hypothesis gained more steam. Back-of-the-envelope calculations showed that the natural mass range of the WIMP would precisely match the abundances needed to ...

Dark matter research is unsettling. Scientists were unnerved when they first noticed that galaxies don’t rotate by the same physics as a spinning plate. The stars at a galaxy’s edge rotate ...

If so much dark matter exists, it must not only be non-luminous, it must not absorb light either. It couldn't simply be regular matter that is cold and dark, but must be something very different.

Now, the search for dark matter has received an unlikely assist from technology used in quantum computing research. In a new paper published in the journal Nature, my colleagues on the HAYSTAC team ...

All the evidence for dark matter and dark energy seem to be way out there in the cosmos. It seems very suspicious that we don't see any evidence of it here in our own solar system. No one has ever ...
