Scientists working with the Gemini North and Keck II telescopes have discovered a galaxy that's made from 99.99% dark matter. And they noticed it because it was "fluffy." Share on Facebook (opens in a ...

"It's a fairly unusual question to ask in the scientific world, because most researchers would agree that dark matter is dark, but we have shown that even dark matter that is the darkest kind ...

Dark matter, the substance that makes up about 27% of the universe, could potentially be detected as a red or blue light "fingerprint," new research shows. The research is published in the journal ...

Recent scientific proposals suggest that dark matter, the elusive substance comprising much of the universe’s mass, might not be entirely “dark” as it could interact with light by leaving detectable ...

Researchers suggest that dark matter might subtly color light red or blue as it passes through, revealing traces of its existence. Using a network-like model of particle connections, they argue that ...

Dark matter has two central properties: it has mass like regular matter, and unlike regular matter, it reacts weakly or not at all with light. Neutrinos satisfy these two criteria, but neutrinos move ...

We may have seen the first hints of strange stars powered by dark matter. These so-called dark stars could explain several of the most mysterious objects in the universe, while also giving us hints ...

Dark matter, one of the universe's best kept secrets, may have been quietly painting the cosmos in faint, detectable hues of red and blue all along, a new study suggests. Dark matter makes up more ...
