"Dark matter could be captured by stars and accumulate inside them. If that happens, it might also interact with itself and ...

Some of the faintest, coldest stars in the universe may be powered not by fusion—but by the annihilation of dark matter deep within them. These “dark dwarfs” could exist in regions like the galactic ...

Dark matter remains one of science's deepest mysteries. It makes up about 25% of our universe, yet scientists only observe ...

Instead of a tempest in a teapot, imagine the cosmos in a canister. Scientists have performed experiments using nested, ...

Brown dwarfs are too small to sustain the nuclear fusion that powers most stars, so they cool and fade over time. But if they ...

Dark matter is one of Nature’s most confounding mysteries. It keeps particle physicists up at night and cosmologists glued to their supercomputer simulations. We know it’s real because its mass ...

Scientists are on the trail of a mysterious five-particle structure that could challenge one of the biggest theories in ...

But axions were pushed aside as the WIMPs hypothesis gained more steam. Back-of-the-envelope calculations showed that the ...

Dark dwarfs, celestial objects potentially hidden in our galaxy's center, may provide crucial insights into the enigmatic ...

Similar particles, shot out from black holes, could carry the signature of new physics—perhaps even dark matter. “The difference between a supercollider and a black hole is that black holes ...

The evidence comes from the first measurement at RHIC of reconstructed jets produced in collisions back-to-back with photons, particles of light. Scientists have long anticipated using ...
