New results from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) suggest that the unknown force accelerating the expansion of ...

"Really, Euclid is not only a dark universe detective, it's also a time machine. We will look back 10 billion years in cosmic ...

The early universe seems to be filled with unexpected Little Red Dots that astronomers have struggled to explain. Now one astrophysicist has proposed an answer.

The team's previous work has in fact used these extreme stars, when orbited by stellar companions in systems called "binary pulsars," as dark matter probes. The scientists' new research ...

A strange energy source at the center of the Milky Way may be a new type of dark matter. Scientists found that hydrogen gas ...

Recent research proposes a new form of dark matter that may actually be lighter in mass than other dark matter candidates.

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 ...

Euclid has two instruments: its visible light camera, VIS, and its near-infrared light camera, NISP. NISP allows Euclid to ...

Astrophysicists have long been intrigued by the possibility of dark stars-massive celestial objects fueled not by nuclear fusion but by the enigmatic energy of dark matter. Thanks to images taken by ...

Boson stars, theoretical cosmic objects, could solve mysteries of dark matter, constituting 27% of the universe. Invisible yet impactful, their gravitational influence might reshape our cosmic ...

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.
