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

Researchers at the University of Tokyo and Chuo University have proposed a strategy to identify light dark matter using a ...

Two dark matter experiments have spotted signs of neutrinos knocking into atomic nuclei in their detectors. The finding portends a future obstacle for the detectors, Emily Conover reported in “ ‘Fog’ ...

Japanese researchers are pushing quantum technology to the point where it can register unimaginably small disturbances, ...

New research explores how gravitational waves from black hole systems could help scientists study dark matter, using improved models and future detectors like LISA ...

A simple explanation of dark matter and antimatter, how they differ, how scientists study them, and why both are important to understanding the universe.

An AI-powered tool can distinguish dark matter's elusive effects from other cosmic phenomena, which could bring us closer to unlocking the secrets of dark matter. Dark matter is the invisible force ...

Fusion reactors may not only generate clean energy but also produce axions, particles linked to dark matter, according to a ...

A recent study by Rajendra Gupta, published in "Galaxies," proposes that cosmic phenomena conventionally ascribed to dark matter and dark energy can be explained by the temporal weakening of ...

The vast majority of matter is dark – invisible until it is detected only through its gravitational effects. The newly discovered object could be a clump of dark matter, or it could also be a compact, ...

UC Santa Cruz physicist Stefano Profumo has put forward two imaginative but scientifically grounded theories that may help solve one of the biggest mysteries in physics: the origin of dark matter. In ...

Dark energy makes up about 70% of the universe and causes its expansion to accelerate. It's different from dark matter; dark energy pushes space apart, while dark matter pulls things together. We ...
