The rate at which the universe is expanding is expressed as a value called the Hubble Constant, generally abbreviated as “H 0 ...

Why do we not see effects of dark matter in our solar system and other nearby star systems? Curran RodeAmmannsville, Texas ...

In fact, we estimate that approximately 90 percent of the Milky Way consists of dark matter. That figure is based principally on observations of stellar motions. The individual velocities of a ...

However, it was Rubin’s work that helped explain dark matter to the scientific community. “It’s hard to describe how revolutionary it was at the time,” Field says. “These were heady days for astronomy ...

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 ...

Research shows that galaxies form inside gigantic haloes of dark matter, the elusive substance that doesn't interact with ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...
