Dark Matter

Astronomers have never had this much data available this quickly before

Inspired by superconductivity, a strange new theory that seeks to explain dark matter might explain dark energy, too

The first images of the cosmos taken by the world’s largest digital camera onboard the Vera C. Rubin Observatory are about to be released to the public. Here’s how to watch the action live

The game-changing Vera C. Rubin Observatory will collect more astronomical data in its first year than all other telescopes combined

If dark energy is weakening, as suggested by recent results, then the cosmos is far stranger than most physicists had supposed

Supersymmetry, long considered the golden child of theoretical physics, has officially lost its luster at the world’s reigning particle accelerator

The final results from the Atacama Cosmology Telescope offer the sharpest, most sensitive view of the early cosmos that anyone has ever seen

Dark matter could be an entire dark sector of the universe, with its own particles and forces

A nearly century-old offshoot of Einstein’s general theory of relativity may hold promise for solving the mysteries of dark matter, dark energy and more

The universe’s hidden mass may be made of black holes, which could wobble the planets of the solar system when they pass by

Dark matter may be lighter in mass than once hoped

Cosmic surveys suggest the force pulling the universe apart might not be constant after all
