New research suggests dark matter could leave a tiny but discernible imprint in the cacophony of ripples in spacetime called "gravitational waves" that ring through the cosmos whe ...

Black holes crashing together may be revealing clues about dark matter hidden across the universe. Physicists created a new model predicting how dark matter could subtly distort gravitational waves ...

A new type of self-interacting dark matter could provide solutions to three very different cosmic puzzles, new research suggests. The first mystery that could be solved involves an ultradense clump of ...

New research suggests that relic black holes from before the big bang may still shape galaxies today. These black holes could explain dark matter, one of the biggest unsolved questions in cosmology.

(via Sabine Hossenfelder) Dark matter is a mysterious substance which makes up roughly 85% of the matter in the universe. But physicists have yet to figure out what dark matter actually is. In a new ...

A researcher identified gamma ray emissions that appear to have originated from dark matter, but other physicists still aren’t convinced. Reading time 4 minutes Astronomers have spent nearly a century ...

"We are not just replacing the black hole with a dark object; we are proposing that the supermassive central object and the galaxy's dark matter halo are two manifestations of the same, continuous ...

A model of the cyclic universe suggests that dark matter could be a population of black holes predating the Big Bang. There are different versions of the “multiverse.” The most popular model—that of ...

Dark matter could be even weirder than we thought, as a scientist claims the elusive substance could be made of black holes from a different universe. Astronomers believe that dark matter makes up ...
