Astronomers working with NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope have produced the sharpest wide-area map of dark matter ever assembled, more than doubling the resolution of previous efforts built on Hubble ...

NASA's Hubble Space Telescope captures the magnificent starry population of the Coma Cluster of galaxies, one of the densest known galaxy collections in the universe — and where the effect of dark ...

Scientists at Rutgers and collaborators have traced the invisible dark matter scaffolding of the universe using over 100,000 Lyman-alpha emitting galaxies. By studying how these galaxies clustered ...

Dark matter is an elusive type of matter that does not emit, reflect or absorb light, yet is estimated to account for most of the universe's mass. Over the past decades, many physicists worldwide have ...

Now is a surreal time to be a dark matter researcher. Even as research funding is being cut by governments around the world, dark matter remains one of the biggest and most exciting open problems in ...

Scientists are shining a brighter light on dark matter thanks to a new high-resolution map, unveiling the invisible material that shapes everything we see. Using James Webb Space Telescope’s (JWST) ...

An artistic illustration of the mechanism proposed by Professor Stefano Profumo where quantum effects near the rapidly expanding cosmic horizon after the Big Bang gravitationally generate dark matter ...

The universe is packed with riddles, but few are as stubborn or as fascinating as dark matter. First proposed in 1933 by astronomer Fritz Zwicky, this elusive substance refuses to play by the rules: ...

Astronomers working with the Hubble Space Telescope have identified a nearly invisible galaxy in the Perseus Cluster that appears to consist almost entirely of dark matter. Designated Candidate Dark ...

Dark matter is a real pain in the neck. The term dark matter itself refers to a hypothetical substance that seems to solely interact with the rest of the universe via gravity and to serve as the ...

Have you ever stood by the sea and been overwhelmed by its vastness, by how quickly it could roll in and swallow you? Evidence suggests that we are suspended in a cosmic sea of dark matter, a ...
