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 study proposes dark matter resides in a hidden extra dimension. This hidden dimension may naturally align particle masses, creating dark matter resonance. Such resonance could explain why dark ...

Two major mysteries in science, the nature of dark matter and the possible existence of higher dimensions, could be linked, new research suggests.

Only a small part of the universe consists of visible matter. By far the largest part is invisible and consists of dark matter and dark energy. Very little is known about dark energy, but there are ...

A new theory for the origins of dark matter suggests that fast-moving, neutrino-like dark particles could have decoupled from Standard Model particles far earlier than previous theories had suggested.

One of the biggest mysteries in astrophysics today is that the forces in galaxies do not seem to add up. Galaxies rotate much faster than predicted by applying Newton's law of gravity to their visible ...

There was an excellent live podcast with Rajendra Gupta, Brian Keating and several others a couple days ago discussing current data and findings. Its interesting as Gupta proposed a new paradigm that ...

It supposedly makes up 80 per cent of the matter in the universe, but we still have no direct evidence that dark matter exists. Physicist Mordehai Milgrom tells Marcus Chown that it’s time to abandon ...
