Dark matter is one of nature's most confounding mysteries. It keeps particle physicists up at night and cosmologists glued to ...

Even though it’s impossible to see it, dark matter fills the universe. And now, it seems increasingly likely it always has. An international team from Japan used the Subaru Telescope at the ...

These could serve as good examples of dark matter since they emit little to no light. What is dark energy? Along with dark matter, there’s a separate entity — making up even more of the mass ...

Dark matter, which makes up about 85% of the total matter in the universe, ... "Here, with the larger sample of pulsar accelerations, ...

Dark matter could be an entire dark sector of the universe, with its own particles and forces. Skip to main content. ... Although these samples would not require much material, ...

But after I gave a talk about a large distant galaxy sample, Hironao came to me and said it may be possible to look at dark matter around these galaxies with the CMB.” The dark matter observed in the ...

In the new study, the team collected samples from depths of 244, 610, 1,250 and 1,478 meters (800, 2,000, 4,100 and 4,850 feet) and compared them with samples taken from a nearby creek on the surface.

(Examples include type 1a supernovae, along a class of stars known as Cepheids.) ... “Cold dark matter”, meanwhile, represents our best understanding of the equally elusive dark matter, ...

Using Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) radiation instead of visible light allows scientists to determine the distribution of dark matter several billion years earlier than previously possible.
