Several other groups already had galaxy simulations they were using to do other science, so the team asked one to see their data. When they found the dark matter imprint they were looking for ...

Scientists are using trapped ions in cutting-edge experiments to hunt for signs of an undiscovered particle that might help unravel the mystery of dark matter. The Standard Model of particle physics o ...

Decades ago, astronomers estimated that “ordinary” matter (basically everything that isn’t dark matter or dark energy) makes ...

It Might Have Come From Dark Matter. Scientists have never directly detected dark matter, but some wonder if one high-energy detection in 2023 could be a rare indirect glimpse at it.
