A new study suggests the Milky Way’s gamma-ray glow could be a dark matter signal shaped by ancient galactic mergers.

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

Deep underground in an old gold mine in regional Victoria, scientists enter a worldwide race to understand the composition of ...

DAMIC-M works much like a digital camera. Instead of recording photons on a light-sensitive chip, it aims to capture dark matter particles. The silicon chips inside DAMIC-M will be surrounded by ...

The aptly named SWEET project was developed by a team of researchers to use sugar crystals for detecting hypothetical light dark matter particles.

Researchers suggest that dark matter might subtly color light red or blue as it passes through, revealing traces of its ...

A gamma ray glow at our galaxy’s center has puzzled scientists for almost two decades. New computer simulations back the ...

Do you know which are the most abundant particles in the universe? It is neutrinos — small, chargeless, and nearly massless subatomic particles that either don’t interact with matter at all or ...

Recent studies suggest a revolutionary perspective on dark matter, proposing that it behaves like a cosmic superfluid, ...

The nature of dark matter is one of the leading mysteries in modern astronomy. In fact, the name "dark matter" is essentially a placeholder for something astronomers know is there but can't yet ...

Andrea Gallo Rosso is a member of the ALPHA collaboration. He receives funding from the Swedish Research Council. Several experiments have aimed to unveil what it’s made of, but despite decades of ...
