A study by Kim Medley and others found that dragonflies with dark wing markings have a lower risk of extinction.
The dense peaks in the wavelength distribution graph observed in a Lyman-Alpha forest indeed resemble many small trees. Each of those peaks represents a sudden drop in "light" at a specific and narrow wavelength, effectively ...
What is dark matter? Even for astrophysicists, it's a question that remains unanswered. These invisible particles make up most of the matter in the universe and about a quarter of the universe as a whole. They are thought ...
Researchers have found a link between some of the largest and smallest objects in the cosmos: supermassive black holes and dark matter particles.
A new kind of detector for dark matter has the potential to make a direct detection of the enigmatic material, according to an analysis by RIKEN physicists.
A team including researchers from the Laboratory for High Energy Physics at the University of Bern has successfully measured the interaction rates of neutrinos at unprecedented energies using the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) ...
A Ludwig Maximilian University (LMU) team has furnished a model for revealing what the color of a galaxy tells about its distance, to be used for measuring cosmic structures.
Tantalizing evidence of potential dark matter objects has been detected with the help of the universe's "timekeepers." These pulsars—neutron stars which rotate and emit lighthouse-like beams of radio waves that rapidly ...
Gravitational waves, ripples in space-time predicted by Einstein almost a century ago, were detected for the first time in 2015. A new study led by Yanou Cui, an associate professor of physics and astronomy at the University ...
The qualities and behavior of dark matter, the invisible "glue" of the universe, continue to be shrouded in mystery. Though galaxies are mostly made of dark matter, understanding how it is distributed within a galaxy offers ...
