This has been the basis of lab experiments and astronomical observations for decades, allowing scientists to whittle down the ...

Caption Map of dark matter made from gravitational lensing measurements of 26 million galaxies in the Dark Energy Survey. The map covers about 1/30th of the entire sky and spans several billion ...

This puzzling result makes sense if one assumes that the boundary stars are feeling the gravitational effects of an unseen mass—dark matter—in a halo around the galaxy. Dark matter could also ...

Dark matter is postulated to explain the flat rotation curves of spiral galaxies and other evidence of "missing mass" in the universe. According to present observations of structures larger than ...

Dark matter could be the result of fermions pushed into a warped fifth dimension. This theory builds on an idea first stated in 1999, but is unique in its findings. Dark matter makes up 75 percent ...

If dark matter is made up of WIMPs, that would fit in nicely with Supersymmetry. Alas, it wasn't to be. In 2024 the LHC's Compact Muon Solenoid instrument confirmed the mass of the W boson to be ...

However, scientists don’t see enough visible mass in many galaxies in the universe, yet gravity keeps such galaxies intact. How’s this even possible? This is where the concept of dark matter ...

The nature of dark matter has eluded astronomers ... in particular the so-called QCD axion, over a huge range of theoretical masses, including mass ranges now being scoured in experiments on ...

Giant filaments crisscross the universe, connecting galaxy clusters like superhighways between cities. Their shape and structure encode vital information about the contents and history of the ...

This missing mass isn't just theoretical—it’s visible through the gravitational ... Dan: We’re leading multiple efforts at the lab to improve dark-matter searches and explore a range of possibilities.

This missing mass isn't just theoretical ... Akerib: We're leading multiple efforts at the lab to improve dark matter searches and explore a range of possibilities. It's an expanded search ...
