Scientists may be just 15 years away from finally detecting dark matter thanks to a new kind of detector that acts like a ...

A new method for directly detecting ultralight dark matter is proposed, utilizing precision astrometry to measure subtle, distance-dependent fluctuations in spacetime caused by these particles.

Instead, these objects are dominated by dark matter, which only weakly interacts with normal matter, also called baryonic matter. (Baryonic matter makes up just 15 percent of the matter in the ...

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 ...

Dark matter is a hypothetical substance that outweighs regular matter – which makes stars, planets, and everything we can see and touch – by five to one. But we don’t know what it is.

Indian Institute of Astrophysics researchers have revisited the ultra-diffuse galaxy, NGC 1052-DF2, challenging previous assumptions about its dark matter deficiency. The study suggests the galaxy ...

Astronomers have stumbled upon yet another ghostly galaxy that appears to be devoid of dark matter. First spotted in 2024, FCC 224 is a dwarf galaxy that boasts a dozen luminous, tightly bound ...

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 ...

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 ...

Although we’re still searching for observational evidence of dark matter, scientists haven’t been able to account for about 15 percent of the regular matter in the universe with just stars ...

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 ...
