A simulation of the cosmic sheet as seen from the side, with voids above and below. (Wempe et al., Nat. Astron., 2026) The Milky Way isn't just drifting through a giant void in space untethered, but ...

A closer look at the Lambda Cold Dark Matter model, its core components, supporting evidence, and why new observations are ...

Dark matter keeps getting blamed for the universe’s big patterns while staying stubbornly out of reach. You cannot see it, touch it, or capture it. Yet its gravity helps shape galaxies, and that makes ...

Giant worlds beyond the Solar System could be the probe we need to figure out how dark matter manifests in the Universe. According to a new study, one particular dark matter model could see the ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Artistic representation of the Milky Way, where the innermost stars move at near relativistic speeds (defined as velocities that ...

A new model of the Universe suggests that modifying Newton's theory of gravity could do away with the need for dark matter. The model instead relies on an as-of-yet undiscovered form of gravity to ...

Quark nugget dark matter models propose that dark matter may consist of macroscopic objects formed from bound collections of quarks in a stable configuration. These models, which include variants such ...

Physicists have unveiled a new way to simulate a mysterious form of dark matter that can collide with itself but not with normal matter. This self-interacting dark matter may trigger a dramatic ...
