Dark matter decays could be the missing ingredient explaining how giant black holes formed before the first stars ...

A new study suggests that failing to detect dark matter signals in some galaxies may not contradict evidence seen in our own.

A new study led by researchers at the University of California, Riverside, suggests that ...

A new theory claims dark matter and dark energy don’t exist — they’re just side effects of the universe’s changing forces. By rethinking gravity and cosmic timelines, it could rewrite our ...

A puzzling ultraviolet light seen across the Milky Way could come from the destruction of nuggets of dark matter, the mysterious stuff that makes up around a quarter of the matter and energy in the ...

Researchers using new simulations suggest that the Milky Way’s past collisions may have reshaped its dark matter core. This distorted structure could naturally explain the puzzling gamma-ray glow long ...

A new study challenges the long-held belief that a supermassive black hole resides at the Milky Way's core. Researchers ...

New research suggests the supermassive black hole at the heart of the Milky Way is actually a tremendously massive yet compact clump of dark matter. Scientists say this clump would exert the same ...

Ask most astronomers, and they’ll tell you that dark matter and dark energy make up more than 95 percent of the universe and that they are the explanations for many of the large-scale phenomena we ...
