An MIT study suggests that primordial black holes could be dark matter and might cause detectable wobbles in Mars' orbit.

dark matter doesn't emit, reflect, or absorb light, and is particularly difficult to capture in a detector. Our understanding of physics doesn't work without it, but scientists have not yet been ...

Watching for changes in Mars' orbit over time could be new way to detect passing dark matter, according to researchers.

New results from the world's most sensitive dark matter detector put the best-ever limits on particles called WIMPs, a leading candidate for what makes up our universe's invisible mass. Figuring ...

Figuring out the nature of dark matter, the invisible substance that makes up most of the mass in our universe, is one of the greatest puzzles in physics. New results from the world's most ...
