Dark matter is more than five times as abundant as all the visible matter in the universe. So why can't we see any of it?

Besides particles like sterile neutrinos, axions and weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs), a leading candidate for ...

In a first-of-its-kind test, scientists used a levitated magnet to search for dark matter, the unidentified substance believed to be present throughout the cosmos. If dark matter is made up of ...

Although such early observations were on the right track, they weren't based in objective science ... Because mass is a property of matter, the "stuff" of the universe affected by gravity ...

Researchers set a new lower mass limit of 2.2 × 10⁻²¹ eV for ultralight bosonic dark matter using stellar motion data from Leo II.

A new study by researchers at Dartmouth College offers a fresh explanation about the origin of dark matter — the mysterious, ...

Dark matter may have started as light-like particles that abruptly became heavy—a cosmic twist rooted in spin and ...

Everything we visualize about space, including stars, planets, gases, and even galaxies, make up just a small fraction of the ...

Dark matter makes up a large portion of the universe, but we've never seen it. Here's what we know, what it might be, and why it could change everything. More than 80% of the universe's matter is ...

In a new study published in Physical Review Letters, scientists have estimated a new lower bound on the mass of ultra-lightweight bosonic dark matter particles. Purported to make up about 85% of ...

In their study, the scientists examined both evolving dark energy and evolving dark matter. Their analysis showed that ...

As well as having applications in materials science, the discovery could aid the ... Axions are an attractive dark matter candidate because while they do have mass, and theory predicts that the Big ...
