A groundbreaking new study, recently published on arXiv, challenges one of the most fundamental assumptions in cosmology: that dark matter remains constant over time. For decades, scientists have ...
The James Webb Space Telescope is starting to turn a long‑standing cosmic mystery into something that looks almost tangible. By peering into the earliest galaxies and the crowded hearts of nearby ...
UC Santa Cruz physicist Stefano Profumo has put forward two imaginative but scientifically grounded theories that may help solve one of the biggest mysteries in physics: the origin of dark matter. In ...
Dark matter is an elusive type of matter that does not emit, reflect or absorb light, yet is estimated to account for most of the universe's mass. Over the past decades, many physicists worldwide have ...
Researchers propose a new theory for the origin of dark matter, the invisible substance thought to give the universe its shape and structure. Their mathematical models show that dark matter could have ...
An artistic illustration of the mechanism proposed by Professor Stefano Profumo where quantum effects near the rapidly expanding cosmic horizon after the Big Bang gravitationally generate dark matter ...
About 30 years ago an "ideas guy" and a team builder joined forces to search for the invisible bulk of existence. Over a decade ago, dark-matter experts Daniel Akerib and Thomas Shutt joined the ...
Have you ever stood by the sea and been overwhelmed by its vastness, by how quickly it could roll in and swallow you? Evidence suggests that we are suspended in a cosmic sea of dark matter, a ...
Rajendra Gupta receives unconditional research funding from Macronix Research Corporation. He is affiliated with the American Physical Society, Royal Astronomical Society, European Astronomical ...
Australian researchers have played a central role in a landmark result from the LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) experiment in South Dakota—the world's most sensitive dark matter detector. Today, scientists working on ...
