A model of the cyclic universe suggests that dark matter could be a population of black holes predating the Big Bang.

New research suggests that relic black holes from before the big bang may still shape galaxies today. These black holes could ...

Dark matter remains one of the most compelling enigmas in modern cosmology. Although it does not emit light, its gravitational influence is essential for the formation and evolution of cosmic ...

A growing mystery in astronomy is the presence of gargantuan black holes—some weighing as much as a billion suns—existing ...

Researchers have been looking at everything, including supernovas, trying to uncover the mysteries of dark matter. Recent scientific studies suggest that dark matter might not be a particle hiding in ...

A new study suggests that failing to detect dark matter signals in some galaxies may not contradict evidence seen in our own.

Researchers suggest that dark matter might subtly color light red or blue as it passes through, revealing traces of its existence. Using a network-like model of particle connections, they argue that ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Using images and data of the Milky Way halo, pictured, researchers have managed for the first time to "see" dark matter, the ...

For nearly a century, something unseen has tugged at the cosmos. In the 1930s, Swiss astronomer Fritz Zwicky noticed galaxies in the Coma Cluster moving as if they carried far more mass than ...

Dark Matter remains one of the biggest mysteries in fundamental physics. Many theoretical proposals (axions, WIMPs) and 40 years of extensive experimental search failed to provide any explanation of ...

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 ...
