Dark matter is an elusive type of matter that does not emit, absorb or reflect light, interacting very weakly with ordinary ...

Physicists are quietly rolling out a new generation of simulation codes that promise to do more than crunch numbers. By ...

A newly revealed cosmic image shows two galaxy clusters colliding as one. Nicknamed the Champagne Cluster, it offers rare ...

Dark matter and its impact on cosmology have puzzled physicists for nearly a century. At Perimeter Institute, two researchers are trying to better understand how one potential dark matter candidate, ...

Physicists have spent decades chasing two grand technological dreams: harnessing fusion power and uncovering the nature of ...

A collaboration led by scientists at Nagoya University in Japan has investigated the nature of dark matter surrounding galaxies seen as they were 12 billion years ago, billions of years further back ...

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 ...

Scientists could soon test Einstein's theory of general relativity by measuring the distortion of time. General relativity states that gravity is the result of mass warping the fabric of space and ...

A new map of the cosmos shows the distribution of mysterious dark matter in sharp detail. The map, which covers a quarter of the sky over Earth and extends deep into the cosmos, was created using a ...
