Welcome to the age of precision cosmology, a scientific era in which astronomers and physicists have measured almost everything about our universe—except for its deepest mysteries: dark matter and ...

Scientists are a step closer to solving one of the universe's biggest mysteries as new research finds evidence that two of ...

What is dark energy? Why does dark energy seem to be weakening? Is our universe part of a larger multiverse? What lies beyond the boundary of a black hole? The universe seems to be rotating, and if ...

"WIMPs are still the leading candidate for dark matter, but billions of dollars of experiments have been done, only getting ...

When it comes to understanding the universe, what we know is only a sliver of the whole picture.

The universe is made up of three components: normal or visible matter (5%), dark matter (27%), and dark energy (68%). NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center From stars and galaxies to the shoes on your ...

A recent study by Rajendra Gupta, published in "Galaxies," proposes that cosmic phenomena conventionally ascribed to dark matter and dark energy can be explained by the temporal weakening of ...

New research puts forward compelling new evidence that dark matter interacts with cosmic "ghost particles" called neutrinos.

When it comes to understanding the universe, what we know is only a sliver of the whole picture. Dark matter and dark energy make up about 95% of the ...

For more than two decades, the standard model of cosmology has stood as a reliable guide to the universe. Known as Lambda Cold Dark Matter, or ΛCDM, it weaves together dark energy, dark matter, and ...

New research suggests the universe may be lopsided. Cosmic microwave background and galaxy data hint at directional differences, challenging cosmology’s assumption of uniformity and standard ...

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 ...
