In October 2022, scientists detected the explosive death of a star 2.4 billion light-years away that was brighter than any ...

Dark Matter experiment is a large research effort involving over 200 scientists and engineers at 40 institutions worldwide.

Our current cosmological model—known as lambda cold dark matter, or ΛCDM—relies on hypothesized dark energy to explain the ...

Yet despite researchers’ best efforts over decades to work out the nature of this “dark matter” – to find some clue direct or indirect as to what it’s made of, or even make it in the lab ...

Dark matter could be the result of fermions pushed into a warped fifth dimension. This theory builds on an idea first stated in 1999, but is unique in its findings. Dark matter makes up 75 percent ...

The presence of these particles, especially from the decay of WIMPs (Weakly Interacting Massive Particles), could point toward dark matter interactions. If this breakthrough holds, it may reshape ...

We can't see dark matter, but scientists have made the largest map yet of the invisible material that helps make up the universe. Researchers used a dark energy camera and a large telescope to ...

The WIRED conversation illuminates how technology is changing every aspect of our lives—from culture to business, science to design. The breakthroughs and innovations that we uncover lead to new ...

The rest of the universe appears to be made of a mysterious, invisible substance called dark matter (25 percent) and a force that repels gravity known as dark energy (70 percent). Scientists have ...
