Using a rare Einstein ring and the power of global radio telescopes, scientists caught the invisible substance bending space ...

Scientists using a global array of radio telescopes have detected the universe’s lowest-mass dark object by observing how it warped light through gravitational lensing. The invisible mass, about a ...

Astronomers have discovered the smallest known dark object, detected only through its gravitational pull, revealing new clues ...

Researchers have found a suspected clump of dark matter lurking within the luminous halo of a well-known "Einstein ring." The ...

Astronomers have detected one of the darkest objects ever seen at a record cosmic distance—only with the assistance of ...

The discovery of what is potentially the smallest clump of dark matter ever seen strengthens the case for cold dark matter.

A stronomers have broken two records in one thanks to an incredible serendipitous alignment of cosmic objects. It's the highest resolution detection of a gravitationally lensed radio arc, and within ...

Scientists may be coming closer to confirming the existence of dark matter - the invisible stuff thought to make up more than ...

Johns Hopkins researchers may have identified a compelling clue in the ongoing hunt to prove the existence of dark matter. A ...

The story begins with the black hole information paradox. According to relativity, anything that falls into a black hole is ...

Evolving dark matter may explain cosmic acceleration. Observations support a mixed model. For years, a stubborn puzzle has sat at the center of the standard cosmological model. The evidence clearly ...
