Dark matter, the elusive search: Latest discoveries and news

A technique called echo mapping suggests supermassive black holes, like that at the heart of the Milky Way, are surrounded by clusters of dark matter.

Scientists think a new framework for quantum gravity could offer clues about a mysterious 5th fundamental force of nature.

Black holes smashing together may churn dark matter "butter," scientists say.

A new recipe of dark matter that interacts with itself could be the solution to three separate and vastly different cosmic puzzles.

The FLAMINGO project helps scientists explore how galaxies, dark matter and cosmic structures evolved over billions of years.

Early galaxies were star-forming machines, gobbling up gas and spitting out stars with a furious intensity. A new model helps explain why things were so different back then.

"With the James Webb Space Telescope now revealing more supermassive black holes in the early universe, this mechanism may help bridge the gap between theory and observation."

NASA's Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, which is set to launch this coming September, has the potential to show us pockets of the cosmos we've yet to touch.

Our universe is full of mysteries, but few are as perplexing as the dark, tiny galaxies that hover around larger ones like the Milky Way.

Astronomers discovered dozens of stellar streams in the Milky Way using Gaia data, offering new clues about galaxy formation and dark matter.
