The new study reports the detection of a mysterious halo-like glow of gamma rays around the Milky Way, peaking sharply at ...

Dark matter was first proposed in 1933 when scientists observed that galaxies were spinning too rapidly. They should have ...

What was once the leading explanation for dark matter may have simply been underestimating the mass of the particles that ...

A tantalizing gamma-ray signal at the heart of the Milky Way has revived one of physics’ most audacious hopes: that ...

Dark matter is one of the great enigmas of the universe and, in efforts to determine its existence and nature, a new study ...

What we see in our universe only accounts for roughly five per cent of what’s out there. The remaining 95 per cent is invisible. But now, a researcher at the University of Tokyo says he's seen at ...

Researchers from Ohio State University have come up with a novel method to detect dark matter based on existing meteor-detecting technology. Using ground-based radar to search for ionization trails, ...

Fish school, insects swarm and birds fly in murmurations. Now, new research finds that on the most basic level, this kind of group behavior forms a new kind of active matter, called a swirlonic state.

Perhaps the most confounding problem in astrophysics is dark matter. Vera Rubin discovered it in the 1970s, showing that galaxies spin much faster than the visible matter in them can explain. Now ...
