Two fresh ideas are giving scientists new ways to think about how the universe’s hidden mass came to be. Together, they paint ...

Scientists have created the most detailed map of dark matter in the universe yet – and have used it to make major breakthroughs in our understanding of the cosmos. Researchers from the Atacama ...

The new map is the product of years of work by a group of 400 scientists from seven countries, known as the Dark Energy Survey (DES). They pointed the Victor M. Blanco Telescope in Chile skyward to ...

The results are in good agreement with the dominant cosmological theory of the universe in which dark matter is thought to be cold – meaning its unknown constituents move slowly relative to the ...

“There’s always more to understand about the universe”: Meet the U of T scientist working on a cutting-edge map of dark matter Researcher and Jesuit priest Adam Hincks on the University of ...

Scientists used the glow of the Big Bang to map it Dark matter is the curious theoretical solution to the observational problem that most of the universe is missing, something like 85 per cent of it ...

Researchers have created the largest ever map of dark matter – and it could suggest Einstein’s theory of relativity was wrong. Dark matter is an invisible material thought to account for 80 per cent ...

Researchers at the University of Toronto have revealed a theoretical breakthrough that may explain both the nature of invisible dark matter and the large-scale structure of the universe known as the ...

Most of what we know about satellite galaxies comes from studying the Milky Way and other similarly large galaxies. But a new ...

Dark matter accounts for most of the mass of the universe and is "the scaffolding inside of which stars and galaxies have been assembled over billions of years," said Richard Massey, an astronomer ...

We usually think of satellites as small objects orbiting planets or stars. But in the broader universe, galaxies themselves ...
