Scientists may have observed dark matter directly for the first time, using data from NASA's Fermi gamma-ray space telescope - a finding that, if verified, would mark a major shift in modern physics, ...

Gamma-ray halo at the Milky Way’s center matches predictions of dark-matter models The data, collected by NASA, shows an extended halo-shaped emission at around 20 gigaelectronvolts. For illustrative ...

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 ...

For over a century, one of the most mysterious components of the universe, dark matter, has kept scientists perplexed due to its enigmatic nature. Finally after a 100-years long search, the ...

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 ...

Few things in the universe are as perplexing as dark matter — the invisible and exotic “stuff” that is thought to make up most of the matter in galaxies. The theory goes like this: To reconcile our ...

Using NASA's Fermi telescope, researchers have detected powerful gamma–ray radiation emerging from a 'halo–like' structure surrounding the Milky Way. Its frequency and intensity suggest that this ...

A researcher identified gamma ray emissions that appear to have originated from dark matter, but other physicists still aren’t convinced. Reading time 4 minutes Astronomers have spent nearly a century ...

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 ...

Dark Matter debuted last year as yet another strong sci-fi hit for Apple TV, and a second season is officially on the way. Here’s everything we know right now about Dark Matter season 2. Dark Matter ...

For decades, scientists have searched for heavy dark matter particles, but no method has ever been able to detect them. The SWEET project was developed by a team of researchers to detect sugar ...

Dark matter has two central properties: it has mass like regular matter, and unlike regular matter, it reacts weakly or not at all with light. Neutrinos satisfy these two criteria, but neutrinos move ...
