Kavli IPMU researchers are part of an international team that has found dark matter dominating the halos of two supermassive black holes 13 billion light years away.

New data reveals a 3-million-light-year filament connecting two galaxies, each of which hosts a supermassive black hole.

An international team of researchers has found that dark matter dominates the halos of two supermassive black holes in ...

A new way to study 3D maps of galaxies in the cosmos without compressing the data is revealing new information about the dark universe.

Never has this been the case more than with dark matter ... of mass early in the universe's history. Scientists have gotten creative in their attempts to track down dark matter.

The vast majority of cosmologists believe all of these phenomena can be explained through the presence of dark matter, a hypothetical form of matter that is massive, electrically neutral and hardly, ...

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 ...

Our Sun is on one of the spiral arms as shown in the diagram: The Sun's orbital ... indicated that most of the mass of the universe was originally dark matter. There is much conjecture and ...

"Vera Rubin provided the first evidence for dark matter using the rotation curves of nearby local galaxies. We're using the same technique but now in the early universe," said Silverman.

Dark matter is more than five times as abundant as all the visible matter in the universe. So why can't we see any of it?

A diagram-type image ... of galaxies in a 3D map of the universe with detailed simulations that depict the growth and behavior of galaxies and haloes of dark matter. Back in the old days ...
