Researchers propose a new theory for the origin of dark matter, the invisible substance thought to give the universe its shape and structure. Their mathematical models show that dark matter could have ...

Why didn’t the universe annihilate itself moments after the big bang? A new finding at Cern on the French-Swiss border brings us closer to answering this fundamental question about why matter ...

Physicists have unveiled a new superconducting detector sensitive enough to hunt dark matter particles smaller than electrons. By capturing faint photon signals, the device pushes the search into ...

If dark matter particles decay, then scientists could hunt for signs of this process, including X-ray or gamma-ray radiation or even emitted "ghost particle" neutrinos, in vast clusters of galaxies.
