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 ...
Astronomers have proposed a radical idea: dark matter—the mysterious substance making up most of the universe’s mass, might ...
Dark matter remains one of the greatest mysteries of modern physics. It is clear that it must exist, because without dark matter, for example, the motion of galaxies cannot be explained. But it has ...
A research team from the Xinjiang Astronomical Observatory (XAO) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has developed an ...
Polarized light is one of the most powerful tools scientists have for peering inside matter, yet the way it twists, scatters ...

Dark matter could be even weirder than anyone thought, say cosmologists who are suggesting this mysterious substance that accounts for more than 80% of the universe's mass could interact with itself. ...
Astronomers have put together one of the most comprehensive maps of all the matter in the universe. The huge undertaking hints at a slightly smoother universe than we thought, suggesting that ...
"There has not been a consistent dark matter model for the mass range that some planned experiments hope to access. "However, our HYPER model illustrates that a phase transition can actually help make ...
