Humans have now been living on the International Space Station for 15 years. Here’s what we’ve learned.
While we know that dark matter exists, we have no idea what it is. Luckily, there is no shortage of suggestions.
A cosmological event could have unleased the huge comet or asteroid that led to the demise of the dinosaurs.
The tiniest of particles could have huge potential to solve the greatest mysteries of the universe - including why there is more matter than antimatter.
A new detector built deep underground in a gold mine will hopefully unravel the mystery of dark matter.
A unique map of the galaxies in the sky could shed light on the mysteries of the universe – including dark energy and dark matter.
Running the world’s largest particle accelerator requires a lot of energy, but it could reveal the secrets of the universe.
Dark matter’s mysteries are being steadily unravelled by new studies of remote galaxies.
Scientists know so much about dark matter apart from what it is exactly. But are they getting any closer?
Every 30 mil years, Earth has to deal with more comet crashes from space and more intense geological activity from within. Dark matter may be the culprit in these episodes that can cause mass extinction.
Telescopes have come a long way since the days when they were all about lone astronomers watching the night sky through their upstairs windows. Today teams of astrophysicists build and use much more modern…
While invisible, dark matter completely dominates our Milky Way, recent measurements of just how much dark matter there is have revealed a bit of a mystery. In a paper published today in the Astrophysical…
Katherine Mack, astrophysicist at the University of Melbourne, answered questions posed by the public on Reddit. The Conversation has curated the highlights. Dark Matter How do you explain dark matter…
According to cosmologists, galaxies are joined together by filaments, quite literally. These filaments form the cosmic web and are made of mostly dark matter, many stars and some gas. Observing these filaments…
A US team with a highly sensitive dark matter detector has just finished its first run. It has found nothing, and that is still big news. Physicists can explain accurately the behaviour of what makes matter…
Astronomers have been searching for a mysterious substance called “dark matter” since the 1930s. Most scientists still believe it exists, despite many fruitless decades. Now we propose a new theory of…
Nobel prizewinner Samuel Ting, early this morning (AEDT), announced the first results from the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS) search for dark matter. The findings, published in Physical Review Letters…
Australian astronomer Ken Freeman has won the 2012 Prime Minister’s Prize for Science, more than 40 years after he revolutionised his field with his research on dark matter. Professor Freeman, the Duffield…
Part of the invisible dark matter skeleton of the universe has been directly detected where more than half of all matter…
