Dark matter hunter who found unexpected, giant 'Fermi bubbles' wins $100,000 physics prize
Tracy Slatyer, known for hunting dark matter in our galaxy and discovering evidence of an ancient Milky Way explosion, has won a $100,000 prize funded by tech billionaires.
A long-lost type of dark matter may resolve the biggest disagreement in physics
Right now, key measurements of the universe's expansion are contradicting each other. A lost form of dark matter could help them agree.
Hunting for dark matter — inside the Earth
The answer to the dark-matter mystery may be under our feet.
Did German physicists accidentally discover dark matter in 2014?
