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

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

The difference is like a crowd of people who ignore each other versus one where everyone is constantly bumping into one another,’ says scientist ...

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

Learn how a two-state model of dark matter could explain why gamma-ray signals appear in some galaxies but not others.

Dark matter decays could be the missing ingredient explaining how giant black holes formed before the first stars ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

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 ...
