This video explores the enigma of dark matter, an elusive substance believed to make up most of the universe's matter. While ...

Forces have mediator particles. Electromagnetism is mediated by the photons, for example. So most of the decay of this excited dark matter particle would be this unknown mediator. The excited state ...

The Milky Way isn't just drifting through a giant void in space untethered, but is embedded in a sheet of dark matter like a ...

A near invisible realm. The post Hubble Spots Bizarre Galaxy That Appears to Be 99.9 Percent Dark Matter appeared first on Futurism.

Our Milky Way galaxy may not have a supermassive black hole at its center but rather an enormous clump of mysterious dark matter exerting the same gravitational influence, astronomers say. They ...

Dark matter is an elusive type of matter that does not emit, absorb or reflect light, interacting very weakly with ordinary matter. These characteristics make it impossible to detect using ...

A galaxy made of 99.94% to 99.98% dark matter immediately challenges and updates models for how dark matter works. It also sheds light on how the universe arrived at the large-sca ...

A galaxy made almost entirely of dark matter, an elusive form of matter that doesn’t interact with light, was spotted by ...

(via Sabine Hossenfelder) Physicists don’t actually know what the universe is really made of. The currently most popular theory is that most of the universe is made of dark matter, a mysterious type ...

This may be remembered as one of the more important physics images of this generation. Credit: Tomonori Totani, The University of Tokyo Physicists from Japan's University of Tokyo have published a new ...

The Milky Way — and in fact our entire galactic neighborhood known as the Local Group — appear to be lodged in a vast, extended “sheet” of dark matter flanked on each side by cosmic voids, new ...

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 ...
