Dark matter could be an entire dark sector of the universe, with its own particles and forces H ave you ever stood by the sea and been overwhelmed by its vastness, by how quickly it could roll in and ...
A groundbreaking study has suggested that a mysterious phenomenon occurring at the center of our galaxy might point to a much ...
Recent research proposes a new form of dark matter that may actually be lighter in mass than other dark matter candidates.
Scientists suspect lightweight dark matter might ionize hydrogen in the Milky Way’s core. This could also explain the 511-keV ...
A new theory suggests that gravity could possibly be the result of entropy. If true, this would mean that everything in the ...
This puzzling result makes sense if one assumes that the boundary stars are feeling the gravitational effects of an unseen mass—dark matter—in a halo around the galaxy. Dark matter could also ...

Another possible theory is known as ‘evolving dark energy’ or ‘quintessence,’ in which there is another, previously unknown field that has the opposite effect of matter and normal energy. It could ...
The first dark matter search using the WINERED spectrograph on a large telescope in Chile has set new constraints on the lifetime of dark matter particles with masses between 1.8 and 2.7 eV.
