Scientists may have made an "out of this world" discovery. New research suggests that a mysterious glow in our galaxy might be caused by dark matter, an invisible form of matter believed to be five ...

Dark matter may soon come into the grasp of researchers with the help of a state-of-the-art telescope. A team of researchers believes that the telescope could utilize a concept first presented by ...

A gamma ray glow at our galaxy’s center has puzzled scientists for almost two decades. New computer simulations back the theory that dark matter could be the source.

"It's possible we will see the new data and confirm one theory over the other — or maybe we'll find nothing, in which case it ...

New strategies may soon allow scientists to test dark energy theories within our own solar system, linking cosmic-scale physics to local observation. Science advances through a cycle of proposing ...

A class of University of Texas astronomy students has discovered that nearby dwarf galaxy Segue-1 seems to host a ...

Scientists at Tel Aviv University have developed a new way to investigate dark matter by studying faint radio waves from the Universe’s earliest era, known as the cosmic dark ages. Their research ...

A strange gamma-ray glow emanating from the heart of the Milky Way could be the long-sought fingerprint of dark matter ...

The vast majority of matter is dark – invisible until it is detected only through its gravitational effects. The newly discovered object could be a clump of dark matter, or it could also be a compact, ...

Researchers propose that hydrogen gas from the early Universe emitted detectable radio waves influenced by dark matter.

While aboard, astronauts have conducted thousands of studies, from tracking space’s effects on the human body to exploring ...
