For nearly a century, astronomers have watched galaxies spin and the universe expand in ways that visible matter alone cannot ...

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 ...

The universe's matter-antimatter asymmetry, where matter significantly outweighs antimatter despite their theoretically equal creation at the Big Bang, remains a major unsolved problem in physics.

For various, typically historical reasons, even the best physicists claim things that sound egregious to modern observers. That doesn’t necessarily mean these ideas are completely useless—if anything, ...

Matt Tolmach and Joel Edgerton explain how Dark Matter's multiverse is relatable and grounded, unlike the superhero-filled MCU. Edgerton describes the series as "multiverse for the middle-aged man," ...

Dark matter is a real pain in the neck. The term dark matter itself refers to a hypothetical substance that seems to solely interact with the rest of the universe via gravity and to serve as the ...

If you could step back a few quadrillion miles and look at the Milky Way from the outside, you’d see a magnificent, glowing pinwheel of stars and gas, its arms curving majestically outward from a huge ...

“It’s not to say that neutrinos are definitely the explanation of the matter-antimatter asymmetry, but a very large class of models that can explain this asymmetry are connected to neutrinos,” says ...
