Few things in the universe are as perplexing as dark matter — the invisible and exotic “stuff” that is thought to make up most of the matter in galaxies. The theory goes like this: To reconcile our ...

An unexplained glow that appears to emanate throughout the Milky Way’s outer regions could be our first hint of what dark matter is made of, but astronomers say it is too early to know for sure. Dark ...

For decades, scientists have searched for heavy dark matter particles, but no method has ever been able to detect them. The SWEET project was developed by a team of researchers to detect sugar ...

At the center of our galaxy, there’s a mysterious, diffuse glow given off by gamma rays — powerful radiation usually emitted by high-energy objects such as rapidly rotating or exploding stars. NASA’s ...

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.
