The nature of dark matter remains one of the greatest mysteries in cosmology. Within the standard framework of ...

Detecting dark matter—the mysterious substance that holds galaxies together—is one of the greatest unsolved problems in ...

Scientists have long been puzzled by dark matter, an elusive substance that makes up about 27% of the universe. Recent breakthroughs in research are shedding light on its mysterious nature, ...

SAN FRANCISCO, CA–The seemingly unremarkable fact that the universe is full of matter turns out to be something physicists can’t quite account for. According to the big bang theory, equal amounts of ...

WIMPs (weakly interacting massive particles) are one of the most serious contenders for dark matter—the “missing” mass supposedly constituting 85% of our universe. Given its elusiveness, dark matter ...

For centuries, scientists have puzzled over globular clusters, the dense star systems that orbit galaxies without dark matter. Using ultra-detailed simulations, researchers recreated their origins and ...

Quantum mechanics forms the bedrock of modern physics, describing phenomena at the smallest scales through a probabilistic framework. Supersymmetry extends this paradigm by positing a fundamental ...
