Using the Hubble Space Telescope, astronomers have discovered what seems to be a galaxy that is the most heavily dominated by ...

Astronomers have just identified what appears to be a cosmic anomaly: a faint galaxy with so few visible stars that, according to calculations, as much as 99.9 percent of its mass is dark matter. The ...

Dark matter keeps getting blamed for the universe’s big patterns while staying stubbornly out of reach. You cannot see it, touch it, or capture it.

The universe is packed with riddles, but few are as stubborn or as fascinating as dark matter. First proposed in 1933 by astronomer Fritz Zwicky, this elusive substance refuses to play by the rules: ...

Earlier this week, science writer Paul Sutter covered a bold new study that leans toward so‑called “fuzzy” dark matter as the ...

Researchers at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory are helping to pave a path for the eventual discovery ...

Scientists have just slashed the potential hiding spaces for dark matter particles. The LUX-ZEPLIN, or LZ, experiment has searched for and ruled out the existence of dark matter particles with a wide ...

NASA's Hubble Space Telescope captures the magnificent starry population of the Coma Cluster of galaxies, one of the densest known galaxy collections in the universe — and where the effect of dark ...

A new study suggests that dark matter may consist of particles with different masses. By introducing a two-component self-interacting dark matter model, the researchers show that both the low-density ...

The spacecraft bus that will deliver NASA's Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope to its orbit and enable it to function once there is now complete after years of construction, installation, and testing.

An exotic type of dark matter could explain some of the characteristics of our galaxy’s central supermassive black hole, but ...
