Mathematicians are challenging the idea that dark energy is responsible for the accelerating expansion of the universe. In a ...

Researchers propose a new theory for the origin of dark matter, the invisible substance thought to give the universe its shape and structure. Their mathematical models show that dark matter could have ...

We may be more in the dark about dark matter than previously thought, according to a new analysis of distant galaxy clusters.

The instrument is called DESI, the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument, and its job is dull in the way that all great ...

After almost a year of searching, a high-tech instrument buried deep in a South Dakota cavern has turned up no sign of dark matter. Ironically, a team of physicists is pretty excited about it. After ...

Faint hydrogen signals from the cosmic Dark Ages may soon help determine the mass of dark matter particles. Simulations suggest future Moon-based observatories could distinguish between warm and cold ...

The nature of dark matter remains one of the greatest mysteries in cosmology. Within the standard framework of non-collisional cold dark matter (CDM), various models are considered: WIMPs (Weakly ...
