The term ‘nutritional dark matter’ was coined by Hungarian-American physicist, Albert-László Barabási, after he discovered that science tracks only a fraction of the over 26,000 biochemicals in food.

The gravitational lensing that causes this rare phenomenon cannot be explained solely by looking at observable objects—suggesting that dark matter had a hand in its formation. According to Einstein’s ...

Results from the LUX-ZEPLIN experiment, co-founded by UC Santa Barbara physicists, mark a major step in defining what dark matter can and cannot be Determining the nature of dark matter, the invisible ...

Scientists at Rutgers and collaborators have traced the invisible dark matter scaffolding of the universe using over 100,000 Lyman-alpha emitting galaxies. By studying how these galaxies clustered ...

Faint hydrogen signals from the cosmic Dark Ages may soon help determine the mass of dark matter particles. Simulations suggest future Moon-based observatories could distinguish between warm and cold ...

For all our telescopes and colliders, dark matter has remained an elusive ghost for the better part of a century. It outweighs everything we see by a factor of five, yet it slips past every detector ...

The Bullet Cluster as seen by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) consists of a larger cluster of galaxies (left) and a smaller cluster (right). The hot gas seen by the Chandra X-ray Observatory is ...

For astronomers studying dark matter, the Bullet Cluster is one of the greatest laboratories in the universe. It was discovered almost by accident, a blip of x-rays in the sky that was detected by ...

The mysterious substance called dark matter is intrinsically invisible. It cannot be directly observed—rather, its presence is inferred by its gravitational influence on the universe, such as binding ...
