Dark matter acts surprisingly normal in a new cosmic test
Does dark matter behave according to the same physical rules that apply to ordinary matter? This question remains one of the major puzzles in modern cosmology, since this invisible form…
A new equation may explain the Universe without dark matter
For many years, scientists have believed that dark matter and dark energy make up most of the cosmos. But new research challenges that view, suggesting these mysterious components might not…
New quantum network could finally reveal dark matter
Detecting dark matter, the invisible substance thought to keep galaxies intact, remains one of the most enduring mysteries in physics. Although it cannot be directly observed or touched, researchers suspect…
The Universe’s first radio waves could reveal dark matter
For the first time, researchers at Tel Aviv University have predicted what might be discovered by detecting radio waves that originated in the early Universe. Their results suggest that during…
Nissan’s Two New Cars Prove Sedans Still Matter
The “Re:Nissan” recovery plan isn’t just about cutting 20,000 jobs, closing seven factories, shuttering two design studios, and implementing other draconian cost-saving measures. It’s also about new products. We’ve already…
Scientists just found the hidden cosmic fingerprints of dark matter
A Rutgers-led team of scientists has uncovered evidence of how galaxies expand by tracing the invisible scaffolding of the universe created by a mysterious substance known as dark matter. In…
Rare Einstein cross with extra image reveals hidden dark matter
When Rutgers theoretical astrophysicist Charles Keeton first saw an unusual picture shared by his colleague, he was intrigued. “Have you ever seen an Einstein Cross with an image in the…
Dark Matter Theories Suggest Hidden Mirror World and Origins at the Edge of the Universe
Now there are two more options available for theoretical physicists mulling over the mystery of what dark matter is, and with them come another two pointers towards how to narrow…
New Inelastic Dark Matter Model Could Bypass Current Limits of Particle Detection
A group of physicists at the University of São Paulo’s Institute of Physics has proposed a model of the behaviour of dark matter (DM) in the presence of dark energy…
Rutgers physicists just discovered a strange new state of matter
Scientists have discovered a new way that matter can exist – one that is different from the usual states of solid, liquid, gas or plasma – at the interface of…
