For decades, dark matter has been treated as the unseen framework around which galaxies take shape. Even the smallest ...

The Hubble Space Telescope has discovered a galaxy in the the Perseus galaxy cluster that is "composed of 99% dark matter," ...

After nearly a century of experts theorizing and searching for the universe’s most elusive component, a Japanese astronomer believes he has finally captured the first direct glimpse of dark matter, a ...

In a landmark discovery that bridges nearly a century of theoretical physics, a Chinese research team has successfully ...

Astronomers have long argued that dark matter is the invisible scaffolding that holds galaxies together. Without its immense gravitational pull, the rotational spins of galaxies would force them to ...

A faint dwarf galaxy drifting 45 million light-years from Earth may have joined one of astronomy’s strangest clubs. It belongs to a tiny set of galaxies that seem to exist without dark matter.

Researchers using new simulations suggest that the Milky Way’s past collisions may have reshaped its dark matter core. This distorted structure could naturally explain the puzzling gamma-ray glow long ...

Cloud-9 was first discovered about three years ago by a telescope located in Guizhou, China. However, the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Telescope (FAST) wasn't able to exactly identify it for ...

Researchers at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory are helping to pave a path for the eventual discovery of dark matter. With new approaches to measurement in the quantum realm, ...
