Australia's bid to detect elusive dark matter has taken a major step forward, with new research confirming that cosmic ...

A new model suggests dark matter may be more complex than a single substance, potentially reshaping how scientists interpret hidden structures across the universe.

WIMPs (weakly interacting massive particles) are one of the most serious contenders for dark matter—the “missing” mass supposedly constituting 85% of our universe. Given its elusiveness, dark matter ...

(CNN) — At the center of our galaxy, there’s a mysterious, diffuse glow given off by gamma rays — powerful radiation usually emitted by high-energy objects such as rapidly rotating or exploding stars.

A new high-resolution map of distant galaxies may help scientists understand a mysterious invisible substance that helps hold the universe together. The ordinary matter all around us — stars, planets ...
