For nearly a century, dark matter has been the invisible scaffolding of the universe, inferred from its gravitational pull but never directly seen. Now a cluster of independent results, from subtle ...

Dark matter is an elusive type of matter that does not emit, reflect or absorb light, yet is estimated to account for most of the universe's mass. Over the past decades, many physicists worldwide have ...

Researchers propose that hydrogen gas from the early Universe emitted detectable radio waves influenced by dark matter. Studying these signals, especially from the Moon’s radio-quiet environment, ...

For decades, dark matter has been the universe’s most stubborn mystery, silently shaping galaxies while refusing to show itself to our instruments. Now a bold new claim from a Japanese astronomer ...

A researcher identified gamma ray emissions that appear to have originated from dark matter, but other physicists still aren’t convinced. Reading time 4 minutes Astronomers have spent nearly a century ...

Faint hydrogen signals from the cosmic Dark Ages may soon help determine the mass of dark matter particles. Simulations suggest future Moon-based observatories could distinguish between warm and cold ...
