Scientists posit that some dead stars made from the densest material in the known universe, so-called "neutron stars," could act as traps for dark matter particles that smash together at high speeds ...

Dark dwarfs could be lurking out in the cosmos, according to a new study. These hypothetical, effectively eternal bodies would be powered by dark matter annihilation, and though dim, there is a way we ...

Japanese researchers are pushing quantum technology to the point where it can register unimaginably small disturbances, ...

This may be remembered as one of the more important physics images of this generation. Credit: Tomonori Totani, The University of Tokyo Physicists from Japan's University of Tokyo have published a new ...

New research finds dark matter in the Milky Way is unevenly distributed, supporting its role as a possible source of the galaxy's central gamma ray excess. (Nanowerk News) New research shows that dark ...

The James Webb Space Telescope recently detected unusual objects in the Universe. These entities, which could be "dark stars," are sparking significant curiosity among astronomers. If confirmed, they ...

Dark matter annihilation might power the first luminous stars in the Universe. This type of stars, known as Dark Stars, could form in 10^6-10^8 solar mass protohalos at redshifts z around 20, and they ...

Researchers propose using gas giant planets as dark matter detectors, leveraging their immense gravity to accumulate dark matter particles and induce detectable interactions in their upper atmospheres ...

A simple explanation of dark matter and antimatter, how they differ, how scientists study them, and why both are important to understanding the universe.

Using one of the most powerful supercomputers in the world to simulate the halo of dark matter that envelopes our galaxy, researchers found dense clumps and streams of the mysterious stuff lurking in ...
