Dark matter has been thought to be cold and collisionless, meaning its particles don't interact with each other. The new study, however, challenges this assumption.

A model of the cyclic universe suggests that dark matter could be a population of black holes predating the Big Bang.

A growing mystery in astronomy is the presence of gargantuan black holes—some weighing as much as a billion suns—existing ...

New research suggests that relic black holes from before the big bang may still shape galaxies today. These black holes could ...

No theory could explain the slight excess of far-ultraviolet light in the Milky Way until now.

A new study suggests that failing to detect dark matter signals in some galaxies may not contradict evidence seen in our own.

Researchers have been looking at everything, including supernovas, trying to uncover the mysteries of dark matter. Recent scientific studies suggest that dark matter might not be a particle hiding in ...

Researchers using new simulations suggest that the Milky Way’s past collisions may have reshaped its dark matter core. This distorted structure could naturally explain the puzzling gamma-ray glow long ...

Dark matter and dark energy make up 95% of the universe. Humanity has never directly detected either. The Nancy Grace Roman ...

This new map is not only the most detailed view of the universe’s invisible scaffolding to date, it also allows astronomers to look deeper into cosmic history. Reading time 3 minutes Dark matter—the ...

Ask most astronomers, and they’ll tell you that dark matter and dark energy make up more than 95 percent of the universe and that they are the explanations for many of the large-scale phenomena we ...
