Dark Matter Season 1 ends with multiple Jasons, heartbreaking choices, and endless possibilities. Here’s a spoiler-filled ...

Possible interactions between dark matter and neutrinos may help explain a persistent mismatch in how cosmic structure evolved.

A puzzling ultraviolet light seen across the Milky Way could come from the destruction of nuggets of dark matter, the mysterious stuff that makes up around a quarter of the matter and energy in the ...

For decades, astronomers have believed that dark matter and dark energy make up most of the universe. However, a new study suggests they might not exist at all. Instead, what we perceive as dark ...

A new kind of dark matter could help explain some of the universe’s mysteries, a new study suggests. The study proposes that there are dense clumps of “self-interacting dark matter”, or SIDM, each ...

After decades of hunting, physicists still don’t know what makes up most of the universe’s matter. Now they need to cast a wider net.

An unusual gravitational wave signal has renewed hopes that primordial black holes, long considered purely theoretical, may ...

In recent years, a curious hypothetical particle called the axion, invented to address challenging problems with the strong nuclear force, has emerged as a leading candidate to explain dark matter.

Dark matter is a real pain in the neck. The term dark matter itself refers to a hypothetical substance that seems to solely interact with the rest of the universe via gravity and to serve as the ...

Ask most astronomers, and they’ll tell you that dark matter and dark energy make up more than 95 percent of the universe and that they are the explanations for many of the large-scale phenomena we ...
