High-resolution images may help scientists understand the ‘gravitational scaffolding into which everything else falls and is ...

RIT Associate Professor Jeyhan Kartaltepe co-authors paper led by NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory revealing new details about dark matter.

Scientists have created the sharpest map yet of dark matter, offering new insight into the invisible force that holds galaxies together.

A new high-resolution map of distant galaxies may help scientists understand a mysterious invisible substance that helps hold the universe ...

By Will Dunham WASHINGTON, Jan 26 (Reuters) - Using observations from the James Webb Space Telescope in a patch of the sky covering almost three times the area of the full moon, scientists have ...

In the early 1930s, Swiss astronomer Fritz Zwicky observed galaxies in space moving faster than their mass should allow, prompting him to infer the presence of some invisible scaffolding—dark ...

Dark matter is an elusive type of matter that does not emit, absorb or reflect light, interacting very weakly with ordinary matter. These characteristics make it impossible to detect using ...

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 ...

For nearly a century, dark matter has been the invisible scaffolding of the universe, inferred from its gravitational pull but never directly seen. Now a cluster of independent results, from subtle ...

Researchers suggest that dark matter might subtly color light red or blue as it passes through, revealing traces of its existence. Using a network-like model of particle connections, they argue that ...
