Researchers propose that dark matter particles could interact with Earth's ionosphere. This theory may lead to the first observable signs of dark matter.

Dark matter is invisible. It's all around us. And we have no idea what it is. The universe is so much bigger than what people can see. Visible matter — which makes up the things you can see like ...

A new paper suggests we may finally be able to uncover the identity of dark matter using the same technology that detects ripples in space-time known as gravitational waves.

A strange break in a stream of stars in the Milky Way could be the result of dark matter, but only if the dark matter is hot and self-interacting.

A study by Dartmouth researchers proposes a new theory about the origin of dark matter, the mysterious and invisible substance thought to give the universe its shape and structure. They say the ...

Stars are formed when gravity within dark matter halos draws in gas, but astrophysicists don't know whether star-free dark matter halos exist.

Dark matter "lampshades" could slip between Earth and distant stars, causing tiny amounts of dimming that may help explain one of the greatest puzzles in science.

AI-powered image recognition could give researchers a new tool in hunt for dark matter.

Apple has renewed its sci-fi series 'Dark Matter,' starring Joel Edgerton and Jennifer Connelly, for a second season.

The LZ dark matter experiment has ruled out weakly interacting massive particles, or WIMPs, with a wide range of properties.

Dark matter is a mysterious and invisible substance that makes up about 27% of the universe. It doesn't emit, absorb, or reflect light, making it undetectable by conventional instruments. Despite ...

In an astounding first, scientists have detected dark matter in the cosmic web that holds our universe together.
