Dark Matter
Astrophysicists from the International School for Advanced Studies (SISSA) in Trieste, Italy, speculated in a 2015 study that wormholes, predicted by Einstein in his theory of General Relativity as a…
Using ultracold atoms, researchers at Heidelberg University have found an exotic state of matter where the constituent particles pair up when limited to two dimensions. The findings from the field of…
Dark matter and dark energy are two of the greatest mysteries in the cosmos. We're fairly certain that both exist, yet their nature remains to be fully understood. Now, a team of astronomers sugg…
Think of the Milky Way—or search for pictures of it online—and you’ll see images of a standard spiral galaxy viewed face-on, a sprawling pinwheel of starlight and dust containing hundreds of billions…
China’s Dark Matter Foray: Quantum physics has seen tremendous advances and a new hunt is in place: the search for dark energy. As this search continues by American and European scientists, China co…
The three physical states most people know are- Solid, liquid and gas. And the lesser-known state plasma contains highly charged particles with very high kinetic energy. But that’s not it there is mo…
It has been asked frequently -- how come only the past is present in our memories and not the future? Why time travel is not an actuality and the process of aging is irreversible? Why is entropy a de…
We've never seen aliens... Or have we? No, Roswell conspirators, not now. Please sit down. We're talking in multitudes of higher complexity. Try this on: Maybe aliens are the puppet masters b…
Our very own Milky Way could host a huge bridge in space-time. At least, that’s what the authors of a recent study have suggested. According to the group, teamwork between Indian, Italian, and North…
It’s generally assumed that the universe — all existing matter and space considered as a whole — is at least 10 billion light years in diameter, and contains many, many galaxies. Since its creation i…

The Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) has taken an image with delicate distortions. That, in and of itself, is not too awfully interesting; though, these distortions point towards a hidden galax…
NASA/ESA Scientists have observed galaxy clusters moving in a way that's inconsistent with what we know about dark matter. This might suggest that we need to rethink our current models, or that a…
Our solar system – our sun and family of planets – is thought to have been built from clumps of space stuff sticking together . Likewise, astronomers expected the first galaxies – those that formed …
A long-standing challenge in physics has been finding evidence for dark matter, the stuff presumed to make up a substantial chunk of the mass of the universe. Its existence seems to be responsible fo…
