New research suggests a particle inside an atom can lose mass, offering a fresh look at how matter works at the smallest ...

There’s more to the universe than meets the eye. Dark matter, the invisible substance that accounts for 85 percent of the mass in the universe, is hiding all around us - and figuring out exactly what ...

Photomultiplier tubes from the LUX-ZEPLIN experiment at the Sanford Underground Research Facility in South Dakota. The LZ experiment is designed to detect dark matter particles from flashes of light ...

What if I told you that while you can't see dark matter, maybe you can hear it? I know, I know, it sounds crazy…and it is crazy. But it's crazy enough that it just might work. It's a real life ...

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 ...

A mysterious glow of gamma rays at the center of the Milky Way has long hinted at dark matter, but the lack of similar signals in smaller dwarf galaxies has cast doubt on that idea. Now, researchers ...

In the early 1930s, Swiss astronomer Fritz Zwicky observed galaxies in space moving faster than their mass should allow, prompting him to infer the presence of some invisible scaffolding—dark ...

The absence of a signal could itself be a signal. This is the idea behind a new study published in the Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics, which aims to redefine how we search for dark ...

In the chaotic first moments after the Big Bang, ripples in spacetime may have done more than just echo through the ...
