Because dark matter is completely invisible to light, science had to look for clever new methods to spot it.

LUX-ZEPLIN, one of the largest dark matter detectors in the world, is based at the Sanford Underground Research Facility ...

Determining the nature of dark matter, the invisible substance that makes up most of the mass in our universe, is one of the greatest puzzles in physics. New results from the world's most sensitive ...

Cosmic dawn galaxies seen by JWST reveal hidden clues about dark matter and keep rival theories about its true nature alive.

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 ...

WASHINGTON, Oct 16 (Reuters) - Scientists may be coming closer to confirming the existence of dark matter - the invisible stuff thought to make up more than a quarter of the cosmos - as they study a ...

This sensitivity opens an entirely new frontier: testing the existence of extremely light dark matter particles, with masses thousands of times smaller than those probed by previous experiments. In a ...

Dark matter is a real pain in the neck. The term dark matter itself refers to a hypothetical substance that seems to solely interact with the rest of the universe via gravity and to serve as the ...
