A new theory claims dark matter and dark energy don’t exist — they’re just side effects of the universe’s changing forces. By rethinking gravity and cosmic timelines, it could rewrite our ...
Most of the matter in the universe may be made out of particles that possess an unusual, donut-shaped electromagnetic field called an anapole. This proposal, which endows dark matter particles with a ...
A new kind of dark matter could help explain some of the universe’s mysteries, a new study suggests. The study proposes that there are dense clumps of “self-interacting dark matter”, or SIDM, each ...
A puzzling ultraviolet light seen across the Milky Way could come from the destruction of nuggets of dark matter, the mysterious stuff that makes up around a quarter of the matter and energy in the ...
Dark matter makes up 85% of the universe’s matter. But dark matter particles are cold and collisionless, meaning they don't interact with each other. Now, a new study, published in Physical Review ...
A major physics experiment has uncovered evidence for a strange new form of matter, where a fleeting particle gets trapped ...
