Dark matter may have contributed to the formation of giant black holes in the early universe, researchers propose in a new paper. More observations, especially with the James Webb Space Telescope ...

Axions, hypothetical subatomic particles that were first proposed by theoretical physicists in the late 1970s, remain among the most promising dark matter candidates. Physics theories suggest that ...

Astronomers have stumbled upon yet another ghostly galaxy that appears to be devoid of dark matter. Dark matter, the invisible substance astronomers believe dominates the universe, provides the ...

But in a new study, published in Physical Review Letters, my colleagues and I show that both could be linked to one of the most elusive ingredients in the universe: dark matter. In particular, we ...

Astronomers at the Indian Institute of Astrophysics (IIA) have found the reason for the strange deficiency of dark matter in the distant galaxy NGC 1052-DF2. Dark matter is a critical component ...

But in a new study, published in Physical Review Letters, we show that both could be linked to one of the most elusive ingredients in the universe: dark matter. In particular, we propose that a ...

New evidence suggests that it is undergoing a merging process with another cluster, and a bridge of dark matter has been the crucial clue to find this linked, but previously missed, companion.

Mysterious Phenomenon at Center of Galaxy Could Reveal New Kind of Dark Matter Mar. 10, 2025 — A mysterious phenomenon at the center of our galaxy could be the result of a different type of dark ...

This proposal, outside the conventional understanding of physics, was to explain the effects of dark matter and dark energy, two hypothetical features that are at the cornerstone of the standard ...

Most importantly, this theory dares to explain it all without relying on dark matter or dark energy — two invisible forces that scientists have been hunting for decades but have yet to find.
