"If we see the lampshade effect in action, it will tell us about what dark matter could be, which is exciting." ...

Researchers, in a recent Physical Review Letters paper, introduce a new mechanism that may finally allow ultralight dark ...

Inspired by superconductivity, a strange new theory that seeks to explain dark matter might explain dark energy, too ...

Scientists say that the construction of a vast new radio telescope array in the Utah desert — known as the Deep Synoptic ...

But axions were pushed aside as the WIMPs hypothesis gained more steam. Back-of-the-envelope calculations showed that the ...

If we don't think heavy dark matter is a viable candidate, then as we continue to learn about this mysterious component of ...

Despite decades of searching, scientists still haven’t found the elusive substance that holds galaxies together: dark matter.

These light dark matter candidates are generally called sub-GeV (giga electronvolts) dark matter particles. Such dark matter particles may interact with their antiparticles.

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 ...

So, whereas other dark matter candidates remain effectively invisible because they are composed of non-baryonic matter that does not interact with light, MACHOs do interact with light, albeit weakly.

If we don't think heavy dark matter is a viable candidate, then as we continue to learn about this mysterious component of the universe, we can instead focus our efforts in the other direction.
