Dark matter
Dark matter is a universe component whose presence is discerned from its gravitational attraction rather than its luminosity. Dark matter is a mysterious substance thought to compose perhaps about 27% of the universe’s makeup.
It is called “dark” because it does not appear to interact with the electromagnetic field. This means it does not absorb, reflect, or emit electromagnetic radiation and is, therefore, hard to spot.
Could the profound mysteries of antimatter and dark matter be linked?
Study presents a direct search for interactions of antimatter with dark matter.
A new way to ‘hear’ dark matter
Physicists at Stockholm University and the Max Planck Institute for Physics have turned to plasmas in a proposal that could revolutionise the search for the elusive dark matter.
This is how a fuzzy universe may have looked
Scientists simulate early galaxy formation in a universe of dark matter that is ultralight, or “fuzzy,” rather than cold or warm.
Looking for warm dark matter
The signature of this warm dark matter is present in some different ways.
