Two fresh ideas are giving scientists new ways to think about how the universe’s hidden mass came to be. Together, they paint a richer picture of dark matter’s origins and how we might still discover ...

Dark matter could be made from tiny black holes formed when so-called "dark baryons" collapse, scientists suggest. Or, alternatively, dark matter could be a type of particle created by a form of ...

Giant worlds beyond the Solar System could be the probe we need to figure out how dark matter manifests in the Universe. According to a new study, one particular dark matter model could see the ...

Scientists at Rutgers and collaborators have traced the invisible dark matter scaffolding of the universe using over 100,000 Lyman-alpha emitting galaxies. By studying how these galaxies clustered ...

"Trying to lock in on dark matter's signal is like trying to hear somebody whisper in a stadium full of people." Scientists are about to unleash a powerful new weapon in the hunt for dark matter, the ...

RIVERSIDE, Calif. -- More than 5,000 planets have been discovered beyond our solar system, allowing scientists to explore planetary evolution and consider the possibility of extraterrestrial life. Now ...

Faint radio signals from the early Universe, soon detectable by Moon missions, may reveal how dark matter shaped gas cooling and clumping in the cosmic Dark Ages. Ordinary matter, which makes up the ...

Dr. Sukanya Chakrabarti, the Pei-Ling Chan Endowed Chair in the College of Science at The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH), and her team have posted a new paper to the arXiv preprint server ...

In physics, we have a bunch of constants that are used in models to explain how the world works. These are fixed numbers that we plug into equations along with our variables. For example, the ...

"I think it's natural to take a break and wonder whether we are fundamentally thinking about this in the wrong way." Dark matter could be made from tiny black holes formed when so-called "dark baryons ...
