Scientists at Rutgers and collaborators have traced the invisible dark matter scaffolding of the universe using over 100,000 Lyman-alpha emitting galaxies. By studying how these galaxies clustered ...

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 ...

For all our telescopes and colliders, dark matter has remained an elusive ghost for the better part of a century. It outweighs everything we see by a factor of five, yet it slips past every detector ...

The Bullet Cluster as seen by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) consists of a larger cluster of galaxies (left) and a smaller cluster (right). The hot gas seen by the Chandra X-ray Observatory is ...

For astronomers studying dark matter, the Bullet Cluster is one of the greatest laboratories in the universe. It was discovered almost by accident, a blip of x-rays in the sky that was detected by ...

Dr. Sukanya Chakrabarti, the Pei-Ling Chan Endowed Chair in the College of Science at The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH), and her team have posted a new paper to the arXiv preprint server ...

RIVERSIDE, Calif. -- More than 5,000 planets have been discovered beyond our solar system, allowing scientists to explore planetary evolution and consider the possibility of extraterrestrial life. Now ...

The mysterious substance called dark matter is intrinsically invisible. It cannot be directly observed—rather, its presence is inferred by its gravitational influence on the universe, such as binding ...

An artistic illustration of the mechanism proposed by Professor Stefano Profumo where quantum effects near the rapidly expanding cosmic horizon after the Big Bang gravitationally generate dark matter ...

When I first started using Linux in the late 90s, there was really only one way to install an application. You would download the app, unpack the archive, run the ...
