Scientists have proposed a novel method of potentially detecting dark matter: by using a 3D-printed vacuum system to “trap” it with ultra-cold lithium atoms.
The future detection of magnetic monopoles or dark matter will shed new light on physics beyond the Standard Model and could help develop new technologies.
Dark matter, the mysterious nonluminous material thought to populate close to 85% of the universe’s matter, may interact with gravity in a non-local way, according to newly published research.
A previously theoretical type of stellar object known as a Dark Star because it is fueled by dark matter instead of nuclear fusion may have just been spotted by the James Webb Space Telescope.
New research looking into the effects of time dilation may help researchers unlock the mysterious nature of Dark Matter and the accelerated expansion of the universe by supporting or disproving the theories of Albert Einstein
A team of Canadian researchers says that the lack of clumpiness in the structure of the universe could help to shed new light on the composition of dark matter.
A new study proposes that Dark Matter, the elusive substance that makes up 85% of the universe, is likely made up of ultralight particles known as axions and not the Weakly Interacting Massive Particles, or WIMPs, favored by most current theories.
A stunningly detailed cosmological map that covers about of quarter of the entire sky shows the effects of dark matter on the cosmic microwave background radiation, lending strong support for Albert Einstein's theory of gravity.
Researchers have postulated that readings from the Hubble Space Telescope may help to explain the nature of the ever-elusive dark matter, which may actually be made up of something called dark photons.
For the first time, scientists have mapped the dark matter around distant galaxies in a cosmological analysis that studies high redshift galaxies, according to new research.
