Searches for dark matter particles have come up empty so far, driving theorists to get more creative with their ideas.

Smooth filaments stretching for many light-years, seen by the powerful space telescope, could indicate what the right "recipe" is for dark matter.

Dark matter is believed to make up most of the matter in the universe, yet it has never been directly detected. One theory ...

Now is a surreal time to be a dark matter researcher. Even as research funding is being cut by governments around the world, dark matter remains one of the biggest and most exciting open problems in ...

The search for dark matter has been largely unsuccessful so far. But now, scientists think they know where to look for it.

What comes to mind when you think of space? Imagine a friend boasting about a spacious building, stadium or museum they recently visited. Do you envision the building as vast and expansive? Is it ...

Supermassive black holes typically take billions of years to form. But the James Webb Space Telescope is finding them not that long after the Big Bang -- before they should have had time to form.

A group of astronomers analyzing data from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) say some of the oldest galaxies in our universe appear much larger and brighter than expected, suggesting they formed ...

In addition, astrophysical observations had revealed that occasionally, white dwarfs would cool off way faster than expected.

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

Gravitational waves from black holes may soon reveal where dark matter is hiding. A new model shows how dark matter surrounding massive black holes leaves detectable fingerprints in the waves recorded ...

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 ...
