In the race to uncover the deepest secrets of the universe, researchers are turning to powerful new tools. One of the most ...

A new dark matter model suggests a new candidate for the constituent particles of this mysterious form of matter that could mean it is detectable by future experiments. Despite making up 85% of ...

In the HYPER model, some time after the formation of dark matter in the early universe, the strength of its interaction with normal matter increases abruptly—which on the one hand, makes it ...

Deciphering the universe’s secrets is partly done through observation, but just as important are solid models of the forces ...

The new model forgoes the need for either dark matter or dark energy as explanations for the universe's acceleration and how structures like galaxies are generated. The researcher's work builds on ...

The discovery in 1998 that the Universe is expanding faster over time shook the foundations of cosmology. This finding ...

Mysterious dark matter makes up 85 percent of matter in the universe, and of the remaining 15 percent, scientists couldn’t ...

Hi NNICK. Can you tell us about the three states of matter accordingly to the particle model? NNICK: People say to me, "NNICK, what's the matter?" "Oh," I reply, "the matter is a collection of ...

The analysis mostly lined up with what’s currently the most widely accepted model of the universe, known as the lambda cold dark matter (ΛCDM) model. However, it might not have been a perfect ...

Here’s how it works. Dark matter can't be too heavy or it might break our best model of the universe, new research suggests. We have an abundance of evidence that something fishy is happening in ...
