Dark Matter
A group of researchers have built the world's largest simulation of the universe , containing around 25 billion virtual galaxies. The simulation could help in the search for mysterious dark matte…
A mysterious cosmic signal radiating from the center of our Milky Way galaxy is actually triggered by ancient stars, rather than dark matter, according to a new study. Image: An artist's illustr…
Humans have made a staggering amount of scientific and technological progress over the past century. We've created technology that has transformed our society; scientific advances have helped us …
X-ray light from the Perseus cluster of galaxies may finally reveal the true nature of one of the most mysterious substances in the cosmos: dark matter. Dark matter is a bizarre material that does no…
The universe may have existed forever, according to a new model that applies quantum correction terms to complement Einstein's theory of general relativity. The model may also account for dark ma…
A type of antimatter particles called positrons are hitting the earth at a higher rate than they should be. Pulsars were initially thought to be the reason, but a new study says otherwise. Amid the h…
The known universe contains trillion of galaxies with billions of stars in it. Looking at the big picture, the galaxies in universe are connected to each other by an invisible web of dark matter. Du…
Neutrons shouldn’t be all that mysterious. Found inside every atomic nucleus, they may seem downright mundane—but they have long confounded physicists who try to measure how long these particles can …
Antimatter , basically, is matter with reverse electrical charge. For instance, antiprotons are like protons but with merely a negative charge. Here are some important facts about antimatter that eve…
The term just sounds ominous. And though it makes up an estimated 85% of the total mass of the Universe, it has remained a mystery to physicists for 80 years. It outweighs ordinary matter, which con…
NASA’s Chandra X-Ray Observatory has observed very strange and distinctive X-ray signal coming from our Milky Way Galaxy that researchers believe can help them in proving the existence of the mysteri…
It’s been about nine months since a team of CERN researchers succeeded in their goal of measuring the spectrum of light emitted from hydrogen’s mirror particle, antihydrogen. They were just getting …
