Space.com spoke to three scientists, cosmic detectives who are hot on the trail of dark matter candidates using the James ...

The majority of our evidence for dark matter’s existence comes from observing visible (or baryonic) matter that does not exert enough gravitational force to explain why, say, an object is orbiting ...

Dark matter is an elusive type of matter that does not emit, absorb or reflect light and is thus impossible to detect using ...

Dark matter is thought to outnumber regular matter by a factor of five to one – so why can’t we find the stuff? A new study ...

For the first time, the formation of tiny, difficult-to-detect particles -- known as dark excitons -- can be tracked precisely in time and space. These invisible carriers of energy will play a key ...

In the search for dark matter and antimatter—which could be holding secrets about the origins of the universe—it uses magnetic fields to separate particles from cosmic rays based on their ...

Scientists are hunting for axions, tiny particles that could solve major physics mysteries, including why neutrons don’t have ...

Around 13.7 billion years ago, something collapsed. It fell outward into the nothingness that stretched in every direction, ...

Space-time may hide a bizarre new kind of black hole that causes Einstein’s theory of gravity to fail – and could solve the mystery of dark energy ...

"One of our goals for future work is to use more Skipper-CCDs so that we can detect more dark matter particles," said Sho Uemura, co-author of the paper. "We have now shown that we can operate an ...
