One hypothesis for the nature of dark matter is that some of it could be self-interacting, meaning the individual particles interact slightly with one another. When you purchase through links on our ...

A tantalizing gamma-ray signal at the heart of the Milky Way has revived one of physics’ most audacious hopes: that ...

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 the ...

Imagine a star powered not by nuclear fusion, but by one of the universe’s greatest mysteries—dark matter. Scientists have proposed the existence of “dark dwarfs,” strange glowing objects potentially ...
