Dark matter may have contributed to the formation of giant black holes in the early universe, researchers propose in a new paper. More observations, especially with the James Webb Space Telescope ...

"A starless or 'dark' dark matter halo would have no galaxy at its center." For some time, scientists have pondered a peculiar question: Can galaxies exist without an outer halo of dark matter?

Scientists have designed a 'cosmic radio' detector which could discover dark matter in 15 years. Scientists have designed a 'cosmic radio' detector which could discover dark matter in 15 years.

Dark matter is a hypothetical substance that outweighs regular matter – which makes stars, planets, and everything we can see and touch – by five to one. But we don’t know what it is.

A new method for directly detecting ultralight dark matter is proposed, utilizing precision astrometry to measure subtle, distance-dependent fluctuations in spacetime caused by these particles.

Every galaxy is thought to form at the center of a dark matter halo. Stars are formed when gravity within dark matter halos draws in gas, but astrophysicists don't know whether star-free dark ...

Dark matter is the unobservable form of matter that could make up as much as 85% of mass in the universe, but scientists are not sure exactly what it is. Axions are one of the leading candidates ...

But in a new study, published in Physical Review Letters, we show that both could be linked to one of the most elusive ingredients in the universe: dark matter. In particular, we propose that a new ...
