New research puts forward compelling new evidence that dark matter interacts with cosmic "ghost particles" called neutrinos.

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

"WIMPs are still the leading candidate for dark matter, but billions of dollars of experiments have been done, only getting ...

A newly discovered celestial object may be a starless cloud that could change how astronomers understand dark matter.

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

Astronomers have spotted a unique cosmic phenomenon: a "relic," which is a primordial building block of a galaxy that never ...

Axions are hypothetical light particles that could solve two different physics problems, as they could explain why some ...

Scientists posit that some dead stars made from the densest material in the known universe, so-called "neutron stars," could act as traps for dark matter particles that smash together at high speeds ...

Scientists have identified a strange cosmic relic called Cloud-9 — a starless, gas-filled object dominated by dark matter.

Researchers suggest that dark matter might subtly color light red or blue as it passes through, revealing traces of its existence. Using a network-like model of particle connections, they argue that ...

Far beneath the Black Hills of South Dakota, a tank of liquid xenon is quietly recording some of the faintest signals in the universe. In that deep, quiet space, researchers have pushed their ...
