In this visualization, each dot represents a gas parcel with a mass approximately 1,000 times that of the Sun in the simulation of the cosmic Dark Ages. The left and right panels compare the cold and ...

Something invisible holds the universe intact. It outweighs everything you can see—every star, every gas cloud, every ...

Galaxies are far more than the sum of their stars. Long before stars even formed, dark matter clumped up and drew regular matter together with its gravity, providing the invisible scaffolding upon ...

Since the early 20th century, scientists have gathered compelling evidence that the universe is expanding at an accelerating rate. This acceleration is attributed to what is known as dark energy—a ...

A cosmological simulation study by researchers from the Shanghai Astronomical Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has systematically revealed, for the first time, how the interaction ...

The Milky Way may be surrounded by dozens of yet-to-be-detected satellite galaxies, scientists claim. Using the highest-resolution simulation of our galaxy's dark matter — an invisible entity that ...

Dark matter remains one of the most compelling enigmas in modern cosmology. Although it does not emit light, its gravitational influence is essential for the formation and evolution of cosmic ...

Physicists have unveiled a new way to simulate a mysterious form of dark matter that can collide with itself but not with normal matter. This self-interacting dark matter may trigger a dramatic ...

An international research collaboration has used advanced computer simulations to investigate how faint radio signals from the early universe, soon to be observed from missions on the far side of the ...

This is interesting of course, but the article suffers from problems. Besides the missing article link, the linked spiral arm dynamical mass excess observations are not explained by dark matter as it ...

Faint radio signals from the early Universe, soon detectable by Moon missions, may reveal how dark matter shaped gas cooling and clumping in the cosmic Dark Ages. Ordinary matter, which makes up the ...
