In physics, experiments to answer the big questions can take decades to run—and might not produce any findings at all. ..
Physicists are devising clever ways to exploit the extreme sensitivity of gravitational wave detectors like LIGO. But they’ve seen no signs of exotica ..
A new simulation aims to determine whether the standard view of dark matter can explain how unique our galaxy’s neighborhood is. ..
In computer simulations, researchers have discovered that a neural network can infer the amount of matter in a whole universe by studying just one galaxy. ..
A powerful astronomy instrument called DESI charts millions of galaxies in the night sky. Can it help scientists finally figure out what dark energy is? ..
New, high-resolution observations of a faint, fluffy galaxy suggest that dark matter’s not as ubiquitous as scientists thought. ..
Years of conflicting measurements have led physicists to propose a “dark sector” of invisible particles that could explain dark matter and the universe’s ..
Physicists calculated that these mysterious particles will betray their location with heat. To prove it, they’ll need the most powerful telescopes in the cosmos. ..
