Could galaxies straight out of a computer fool even the most seasoned astronomers? That is the case with the COLIBRE ...

Computer simulations by astronomers support the idea that dark matter -- matter that no one has yet directly detected but which many physicists think must be there to explain several aspects of the ...

Galaxies are far more than the sum of their stars. Long before stars even formed, dark matter clumped up and drew regular matter together with its gravity, providing the invisible scaffolding upon ...

Chinese scientists and international collaborators have used one of the largest cosmological simulations ever created to ...

A Chinese-led international team has released the largest-ever cosmological simulation, named "HyperMillennium," offering scientists a powerful digital tool to explore cosmic evolution. This ...

Computer simulations designed and run by researchers at the University of California-Irvine suggest that dark matter does in fact exist and is a central part of explaining how the universe works. The ...

Scientists have used supercomputers to create a "synthetic universe" that will help predict what the next generation of super-telescopes will see upon opening their eyes to the cosmos. These ...

With less than 20 percent of all physical matter made from visible stuff—from stars and planets, to the kitchen sink—astronomers continue to hypothesize what form the invisible majority of the ...

In this visualization, each dot represents a gas parcel with a mass approximately 1,000 times that of the Sun in the simulation of the cosmic Dark Ages. The left and right panels compare the cold and ...

This is interesting of course, but the article suffers from problems. Besides the missing article link, the linked spiral arm dynamical mass excess observations are not explained by dark matter as it ...
