The nature of dark matter has been a hotly debated topic for decades. If it's a heavy, slow moving particle, then it's just possible that neutrinos may be emitted during interactions with normal ...

Dark matter refers to material that does not absorb, reflect, or emit any electromagnetic radiation. Astronomers have ascertained the existence of dark matter through the gravitational influence ...

A team of Australian researchers has proposed an instrument called ODIN (Optomechanical Dark-matter Instrument) that can allow scientists to directly detect low-mass dark matter. “Unfortunately ...

A team of researchers says black holes may serve as the perfect test bed for finding dark matter. It turns out that dark matter can sing, but only if it's given a microphone made of a black hole.

Shooting stars, supernovas, meteors, and comets will all be caught on camera. But the observatory will also tell us more about what we can’t see — dark matter. “Scientists knew about the existence of ...

Recent research by a student-faculty team at Colgate University unlocks new clues that could radically change the world's understanding of the origin of dark matter. Assistant Professor of Physics ...

Gamma rays emerging from neutron stars at the hearts of supernova explosions could solve the mystery of dark matter — in just 10 seconds. That is, if dark matter is composed of axions ...

In July last year, an international team of scientists announced they had discovered a galaxy that showed no signs of containing dark matter. The galaxy, called NGC 177, is located near the center ...

We know that dark matter exists because, although it does not interact with light — hence its name — it does interact with normal matter and has a gravitational effect on it. We call normal matter, or ...
