Mysterious deep-space radio signals reveal location of the universe's 'missing matter'
Much of the universe's regular "baryonic" matter is spread through intergalactic space and in diffuse halos around galaxies, researchers proposed after studying the behavior of fast radio bursts emitted from deep space.
Facing steep funding cuts, scientists propose using black holes as particle colliders
New calculations have revealed that the super-energetic jets produced by spinning black holes could be a source for elusive dark matter particles.
'Neutron lifetime puzzle' may have a new solution
A type of hydrogen that doesn't interact with light could explain how long neutrons live and reveal the identity of the universe's dark matter, according to a new theory.
Ghostly galaxy without dark matter baffles astronomers
Astronomers have stumbled upon yet another ghostly galaxy that appears to be devoid of dark matter, the elusive stuff that makes up most of the material universe.
The universe's 'missing matter' may have finally been found
About half of the non-dark matter in the universe cannot be accounted for by stars and galaxies alone. Now, scientists say previously undetected clouds of hydrogen gas could finally reveal it.
Stephen Hawking's black hole theory has big implications for the shape of the universe, new study claims
Elusive black hole radiation predicted by Stephen Hawking may have influenced the way the universe took shape after the Big Bang, new research suggests.
First data from Euclid space telescope reveals 26 million galaxies — and another 1.4 billion are on the way
The Euclid space telescope has spotted 26 million galaxies in just one week of observations.
'The universe has thrown us a curveball': Largest-ever map of space reveals we might have gotten dark energy totally wrong
Findings from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) suggest that dark energy could be evolving over time. If they're right, cosmology will need a new model.
Could the universe ever stop expanding? New theory proposes a cosmic 'off switch'
Dark energy, the mysterious phenomenon that powers the expansion of the universe, may undergo periodic 'violent transitions' that reverse the growth of the cosmos, a new pre-print study hints.
Evidence for Stephen Hawking's unproven black hole theory may have just been found — at the bottom of the sea
The recent discovery of a stupendously powerful neutrino has left scientists scratching their heads. New research suggests it could be evidence that Stephen Hawking was right about the nature of black holes and the early universe.
