A long-dismissed theory involving "cosmic knots" could help explain the origins of neutrino masses, dark matter, and other ...

Physicists chilled a sugar crystals then used them to search for dark matter. This new project is called SWEET.

Astrophysicists at the University of Chicago have developed physics-based models suggesting that dark energy could be changing over time. Dark energy, the mysterious force causing the universe to ...

Tohoku University researchers have found a way to make quantum sensors more sensitive by connecting superconducting qubits in ...

New strategies may soon allow scientists to test dark energy theories within our own solar system, linking cosmic-scale physics to local observation. Science advances through a cycle of proposing ...

What if I told you that while you can't see dark matter, maybe you can hear it? I know, I know, it sounds crazy…and it is ...

Particle physics continues to probe the most fundamental constituents of matter while dark matter research seeks to illuminate the unseen mass that permeates our Universe. Recent efforts have ...

Scientists talk about dark matter an awful lot for something they don’t actually understand very well. They say that it’s important — and that we wouldn’t have stars and galaxies without it — though ...

"There are more questions than answers at this point." Dark energy could have an accomplice that helps it slow the growth of large cosmic structures, such as vast superclusters made up of clusters of ...

Physics has a bit of a messy problem: There's matter missing in our universe. Something is there that we can't see, but scientists can detect. "When we look at how stars move in galaxies, they move as ...

Dark energy could have an accomplice that helps it slow the growth of large cosmic structures, such as vast superclusters made up of clusters of galaxies. A new analysis of astronomical data suggests ...
