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 ...

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 gamma ray glow at our galaxy’s center has puzzled scientists for almost two decades. New computer simulations back the ...

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

Dark matter affects how stars move within galaxies, how galaxies build up over time, and how everything in the universe is held together—but no existing tool has directly detected it. While dark ...

"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 ...

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 ...

For over a decade, a dim but persistent glow near the center of the Milky Way has confused astronomers. This mysterious emission, known as the Galactic Center Excess, glows in high-energy gamma rays ...

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

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.
