A study published in Nature Astronomy has found a nearly 3-sigma statistical preference for non-zero interactions between ...

Dark matter doesn’t emit, absorb, or reflect light. It’s invisible but supposedly makes up 85% of the universe’s mass.

New research using a space-time phenomenon predicted by Einstein presents evidence that the invisible backbone of the ...

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

Dark matter is so pervasive throughout galaxies that its presence explains the stability and motion of stars in systems such as the Milky Way. For example, current models indicate that our galaxy is ...

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

Using data from the Hubble Space Telescope, ESA’s Euclid space observatory, and Hawaii’s Subaru Telescope, the researchers discovered faint light emitting around the clusters. That light was clear ...

Scientists are shining a brighter light on dark matter thanks to a new high-resolution map, unveiling the invisible material that shapes everything we see. Using James Webb Space Telescope’s (JWST) ...

Dark matter makes up most of the mass in galaxies and galaxy clusters. In fact, scientists estimate that ordinary matter makes up only about 5% of the universe, while dark matter makes up about 27%.

Scientists have probed a period of the universe's early history that no one has been able to explore before — and they got a surprise: It was far colder in the young universe, before the first stars ...
