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?

In a new study published in Physical Review Letters, scientists have estimated a new lower bound on the mass of ...

Ultrafine dark matter, millions of times lighter than electrons, could flow through the cosmos in waves. We might just have an easy way to check for tiny interactions between this dark matter and ...

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 ...

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 ...

A new paper suggests we may finally be able to uncover the identity of dark matter using the same technology that detects ripples in space-time known as gravitational waves. When you purchase ...

Dark matter is invisible. It's all around us. And we have no idea what it is. The universe is so much bigger than what people can see. Visible matter — which makes up the things you can see like ...

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 ...
