We investigate a framework for dark matter production based on conversion-driven freeze-out, a mechanism that allows thermalization of dark matter despite very weak interactions. While this scenario ...

“Historically, our understanding of dark matter has been linked to its behavior in galaxies. A detection of completely dark halos would open up a new window to study the universe,” said Nadler.

Who’s ready for a second helping of Dark Matter? Season 2 is a go, so let’s get into what we know. While I would’ve been satisfied by how the series played out if it remained a stand-alone ...

Every galaxy is thought to form at the center of a dark matter halo – a region of gravitationally bound matter that extends far beyond the visible boundaries of a galaxy. Stars are formed when gravity ...

A study by Jessica Santiago from National Taiwan University suggests that primordial black holes, which may still exist in the universe today, could be the source of dark matter. These peculiar ...

This makes them an interesting, if exotic, candidate for dark matter, new research suggests. In the 1970s, Stephen Hawking discovered that black holes aren't entirely black. Through a complex ...

The theory also introduces the G-field, a novel concept that could provide a quantum-based explanation for dark matter. Credit: SciTechDaily.com A new theory links gravity to quantum entropy and ...

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 ...

Primordial black holes could inhabit the modern-day cosmos, making them responsible for the phenomenon of dark matter, according to new research. In the extremely early universe, primordial black ...

He cited Dr. Ostriker’s “eloquent advocacy for the then-radical new model in which the visible stars in galaxies were only a minor pollutant at the center of a much larger halo of dark matter ...

An optimistic take on the situation is that sooner or later the nature of dark matter and dark energy will be discovered. The first glimpses of DESI’s results offer at least a small sliver of ...
