The new study reports the detection of a mysterious halo-like glow of gamma rays around the Milky Way, peaking sharply at ...

Nearly a century after astronomers first proposed dark matter to explain the strange motions of galaxies, scientists may finally be catching a glimpse of it. A University of Tokyo researcher analyzing ...

For decades, dark matter has been the universe’s most stubborn mystery, silently shaping galaxies while refusing to show ...

We can't see dark matter directly, so studying it pushes the boundaries of our creativity as scientists. How exciting, says ...

Research published Tuesday by a Japanese astrophysicist says gamma rays may have been generated by the collision of dark ...

What was once the leading explanation for dark matter may have simply been underestimating the mass of the particles that ...

Dark matter may be invisible, but scientists are getting closer to understanding whether it follows the same rules as everything we can see. By comparing how galaxies move through cosmic gravity wells ...

Researchers from Ohio State University have come up with a novel method to detect dark matter based on existing meteor-detecting technology. Using ground-based radar to search for ionization trails, ...

What we see in our universe only accounts for roughly five per cent of what’s out there. The remaining 95 per cent is invisible. But now, a researcher at the University of Tokyo says he's seen at ...

Planets, stars, and other cosmic objects are made up of matter, as are the atoms that exist even in our own bodies. But matter is not all that makes up the universe, and on the cosmic scale it is hard ...

Fish school, insects swarm and birds fly in murmurations. Now, new research finds that on the most basic level, this kind of group behavior forms a new kind of active matter, called a swirlonic state.
