A new model of the Universe suggests that modifying Newton's theory of gravity could do away with the need for dark matter. The model instead relies on an as-of-yet undiscovered form of gravity to ...
A research team from the Xinjiang Astronomical Observatory (XAO) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has developed an ...
"There has not been a consistent dark matter model for the mass range that some planned experiments hope to access. "However, our HYPER model illustrates that a phase transition can actually help make ...
Gravitational wave astronomy is starting to do more than confirm Einstein’s equations. It is turning into a precision tool for mapping the invisible, with theorists now arguing that ripples in ...
A groundbreaking new study, recently published on arXiv, challenges one of the most fundamental assumptions in cosmology: that dark matter remains constant over time. For decades, scientists have ...
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. A dark matter halo with a galaxy at its heart. It's possible, however, that not all dark matter ...
Illustration of the new method: the researchers use five-dimensional black holes (right) to calculate the phase diagram of strongly coupled matter (middle), enabling simulations of neutron star ...
Astronomers have put together one of the most comprehensive maps of all the matter in the universe. The huge undertaking hints at a slightly smoother universe than we thought, suggesting that ...
Dark matter could be even weirder than anyone thought, say cosmologists who are suggesting this mysterious substance that accounts for more than 80% of the universe's mass could interact with itself. ...
The ultimate goal of cosmology contains the greatest ambition of any scientific field: to understand the birth, growth, and evolution of the entire Universe. This includes every particle, antiparticle ...
Dark matter remains one of the greatest mysteries of modern physics. It is clear that it must exist, because without dark matter, for example, the motion of galaxies cannot be explained. But it has ...
