We may already have had our first-ever encounter with dark matter, according to researchers who say a mysteriously ...

NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, set to begin operations in 2027, will revolutionize our understanding of dark ...

Ultrafine dark matter, millions of times lighter than electrons, could flow through the cosmos in waves. We might just have an easy way to check for tiny interactions between this dark matter and ...

"It's all about mindset in science, where a null result can be as impactful as a positive result." The quest to find dark matter is a curious one. It is, quite literally, a shot in the dark.

When wading into the murky realm of theoretical physics, one of the more difficult concepts for scientists to explain is that of dark matter. It’s the invisible form of matter constantly eluding ...

Scientists call that dark matter, because it does not interact with light and is invisible. In the 1970s, American astronomers Vera Rubin and W. Kent Ford confirmed dark matter’s existence by ...

Dark matter is invisible. It's all around us. And we have no idea what it is. The universe is so much bigger than what people can see. Visible matter — which makes up the things you can see like ...

"Dark matter started its life as near-massless relativistic particles, almost like light," says Robert Caldwell, a professor of physics and astronomy and the paper's senior author. "That's totally ...

AI-powered image recognition could give researchers a new tool in hunt for dark matter. It sounds fantastical, but it's a reality for the scientists who work at the world's largest particle ...

"We are able to measure the local dark matter density using direct acceleration measurements for the first time." Dark matter, widely known as the universe's most mysterious stuff, is rarer on ...
