If he can do that, it could lead to a fundamental shift in how we think about the universe and could even explain the presence of dark matter and dark energy. Vopson, PhD, studies information theory ...

Faint radio signals from the early Universe, soon detectable by Moon missions, may reveal how dark matter shaped gas cooling and clumping in the cosmic Dark Ages. Ordinary matter, which makes up the ...

Black holes crashing together may be revealing clues about dark matter hidden across the universe. Physicists created a new ...

Galaxies are far more than the sum of their stars. Long before stars even formed, dark matter clumped up and drew regular matter together with its gravity, providing the invisible scaffolding upon ...

Cosmological simulations of dark matter halos form the backbone of our understanding of large-scale structure in the Universe. By numerically evolving millions to billions of particles under gravity, ...

Dark energy is responsible for the expansion of the Universe, but its true nature is still a subject of much debate. Computer simulations based on the latest astronomical data enable scientists to ...

Stars close to the centre of our galaxy may be nearly immortal because they gobble up dark matter for energy. More than two decades ago, astronomers noticed something odd about the stars near the ...

Physicists have unveiled a new way to simulate a mysterious form of dark matter that can collide with itself but not with normal matter. This self-interacting dark matter may trigger a dramatic ...

Dark matter has eluded scientists for decades, but researchers now say it might have been detected by accident seven years ...

In this visualization, each dot represents a gas parcel with a mass approximately 1,000 times that of the Sun in the simulation of the cosmic Dark Ages. The left and right panels compare the cold and ...
