Dark matter, a type of matter that does not emit, absorb, or reflect light, is predicted to account for most of the ...

For more than half a century, scientists have tried to understand dark matter—a mysterious form of matter that doesn’t emit ...

Yasa, a small British engineering company, built an over-730-horsepower beast that weighs just under 30 pounds.

Although it hasn’t detected dark matter yet, its developers say it offers an alternative path that is worth exploring ...

This particular isotope burns away quickly inside stars due to their intense heat. But in cooler objects like brown dwarfs, ...

"Dark matter could be captured by stars and accumulate inside them. If that happens, it might also interact with itself and annihilate, releasing energy that heats the star." ...

Dark matter doesn’t really do much of anything in the present-day universe. But it may have played a crucial role in the early days of the cosmos.

"Dark matter is probably in our area, is probably in and around our solar system," he said. "It may be in our rooms, but it's at such a low density, in such a low level, it hasn't been detected." ...

Astronomers have studied how dark matter in clusters of galaxies behaves when the clusters collide. The results show that dark matter interacts with itself even less than previously thought, and ...

If so much dark matter exists, it must not only be non-luminous, it must not absorb light either. It couldn't simply be regular matter that is cold and dark, but must be something very different.
