Dark matter remains one of the greatest mysteries of modern physics. It is clear that it must exist, because without dark matter, for example, the motion of galaxies cannot be explained. But it has ...

A research team from the University of California, Santa Cruz, have used the Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility's Summit supercomputer to run one of the most complete cosmological models yet to ...

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 is one of the most important and most mysterious questions in modern astronomy. Although dark matter cannot be seen or touched, it profoundly influences the formation and evolution of ...

Two projects in JWST’s first observation cycle will probe the nature of dark matter. On Christmas morning of 2021, an Ariane 5 CEA rocket blasted off from Kourou, French Guiana. It carried with it the ...
