Astronomers have long argued that dark matter is the invisible scaffolding that holds galaxies together. Without its immense ...

Scientists have discovered that dark matter, the universe's most mysterious "stuff," obeys gravity on vast cosmological scales. This could help to dismiss the possibility of a fifth fundamental force ...

In the vast universe, galaxies rotate in ways that don’t make sense if only visible matter is considered. For almost a century, scientists have tried to explain this by searching for a hidden force ...

There’s still a lot we don’t know about dark matter, or the “missing” mass supposedly constituting around 85% of the universe. Physicists have good reason to believe it’s out there. New research ...

Dutch string theorist Dr. Erik Verlinde insists on saying gravity doesn't exist. The good professor clearly does not believe that if he stops holding onto his briefcase, it will do anything other than ...

An international group of scientists, including Case Western Reserve University Astronomy Chair Stacy McGaugh, has published research contending that a rival idea to the popular dark matter hypothesis ...

A new study in the journal Nature examines the distribution of dark matter in the universe, attempting to figure out if it obeys the same laws as regular matter. What it found suggests that dark ...
