Besides particles like sterile neutrinos, axions and weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs), a leading candidate for ...

This clever mechanism limits the total amount of massive dark matter in the universe, because only so much can escape the black holes before they evaporate completely. This evaporation process ...

Dark matter is more than five times as abundant as all the visible matter in the universe. So why can't we see any of it?

Dark matter may have started as light-like particles that abruptly became heavy—a cosmic twist rooted in spin and ...

For a while now, there has been a problematic mystery at the heart of the standard cosmological model. Although all ...

When wading into the murky realm of theoretical physics, one of the more difficult concepts for scientists to explain is that of dark matter. It’s the invisible form of matter constantly eluding ...

Dark matter makes up a large portion of the universe, but we've never seen it. Here's what we know, what it might be, and why it could change everything. More than 80% of the universe's matter is ...

A team of researchers says black holes may serve as the perfect test bed for finding dark matter. It turns out that dark matter can sing, but only if it's given a microphone made of a black hole.

Dark matter could be the result of fermions pushed into a warped fifth dimension. This theory builds on an idea first stated in 1999, but is unique in its findings. Dark matter makes up 75 percent ...

Languages: English. You can get in touch with Jess by emailing j.thomson@newsweek.com. Dark matter, the mysterious substance that makes up roughly 80 percent of all the matter in the universe ...

Never has this been the case more than with dark matter. Though it's far more abundant than the matter we can see and feel, dark matter as we know it is virtually immune to observation ...
