Dark matter on the move

Scientists have found evidence that dark matter can be heated up and moved around, as a result of star formation in galaxies. The findings provide the first observational evidence for the effect known as 'dark matter heating'.

Astonishing New Theory Could Explain Universe’s Missing 95%

UK researcher, Jamie Farnes, suggests both dark energy and matter can be unified into a single substance — a negative-mass ‘dark fluid.’ The theory may also prove right a prediction that Albert Einstein made 100 years ago.

Secrets Of The Dark Photon Might Be Unlocked In A New Experiment

The mysterious dark photon will be hunted by the Positron Annihilation into Dark Matter Experiment (PADME) in Italy, which will start collecting data in the next couple of weeks.

Dark Matter and Energy Are Real Reveals Final Data of Planck Mission

The Planck mission launched in 2009 has finally reached its ending point. So far the standard model of cosmology has survived all the tests.

Could dark matter atoms explain a recent observation?

A tiny fraction of dark matter could have a charge, allowing it to interact with regular matter during the time between the Big Bang and formation of the Cosmic Microwave Background, some physicists say.

Hubble finds first galaxy in the local universe without dark matter

An international team of researchers using the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope and several other observatories have, for the first time, uncovered a galaxy that is missing dark matter.

Simple telescope picks up hint of the Universe’s first stars, dark matter

A small team of researchers announced that its correspondingly small telescope picked up a signal produced by the very first stars in our Universe.

Astrophysicists have built the most detailed simulation of the Universe ever

The simulation consists of 18 simulations covering various scales - each a cubic mock-up of space up to 1 billion light years wide - tracing the evolution of the Universe from just after the Big Bang into the future.

China’s Dark Matter Satellite Has Produced Some Unusual Results

The experiment has directly detected a sudden drop-off in the electrons hitting the satellite.

Survey reveals most accurate measurement of dark matter in the Universe

Dark Energy Survey scientists unveiled the most accurate measurement ever made of the present large-scale structure of dark matter in the Universe.

These 25 Billion Galaxies are Living in a Simulation

A team of astrophysicists from UZH has simulated the formation of the entire Universe, producing a catalog that will help unlock the secrets of the "Dark Universe".

World's Most Sensitive Dark Matter Detector Gives Researchers Initial Results

The first set of results are in -- no dark matter proof yet. But for the research team, the best news is that the machine actually works.

CERN points giant magnet at the Sun to look for dark matter particles

Engineers at CERN took magnets originally designed for the LHC, combined them with X-ray focusing technology originally designed for space, and built a device that could spot axions arriving here from the Sun.

These are the first images of the web of ghostly dark matter that holds galaxies together

A team of astronomers in Canada used the space-bending effects of dark-matter to see the unseeable.

New evidence in favor of dark matter

The bars in galaxies are spinning more slowly than we thought because of dark matter.
