Gravitational wave astronomy is starting to do more than confirm Einstein’s equations. It is turning into a precision tool ...

Dark matter is one of the most puzzling mysteries of science, with a huge range of suspects being investigated. In a new study, astronomers have searched for clouds of hypothetical, ultralight ...

A new type of gravitational wave detector running in Western Australia has recorded two rare events that might be signals of dark matter or primordial black holes. These high-frequency gravitational ...

When two sufficiently massive objects collide — such as when two black holes merge — the forces can actually bend space-time, creating ripples called gravitational waves. These gravitational waves can ...

One of the biggest puzzles in modern cosmology is the existence of dark matter, which constitutes most of the matter in the universe. Recent research by an international team of researchers has used ...

Observations of gravitational waves from merging black holes may unveil the true nature of dark matter, according to new research. The announcement last week of the discovery of the gravitational wave ...

The Milky Way is not the calm, flat starry disk many of us learned about in school. Astronomers are now tracking a colossal, curling disturbance that ripples through our Galaxy’s disk, lifting and ...

As we gaze ever farther into the outer reaches of the universe, we learn more about its origins and ultimate fate. There's one major missing piece of the puzzle: dark matter. Despite making up most of ...

Dark matter could consist of particles so ultralight, they behave more like waves. Although the motions of galaxies provide evidence that dark matter exists, scientists have yet to directly detect the ...

Every year, after recovering from CES, I take a step back and evaluate the most influential IoT technology trends. This year’s winner is Matter, a new industry standard for smart home connectivity ...

New research shows how disruptions to binary star systems could be the key to detecting space's most confounding substance — dark matter. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...

Gravitational waves from black holes may soon reveal where dark matter is hiding. A new model shows how dark matter surrounding massive black holes leaves detectable fingerprints in the waves recorded ...
