The observed near flatness of galactic rotation curves has long been interpreted as evidence for large amounts of non-baryonic dark matter. Here we show that this phenom ...

Coming together: simulation uses LIGO data to explain black hole binaries A new computer simulation by physicists in the US suggests that interactions between dark matter particles can explain why ...

Researchers have found a significant new relationship in spiral and irregular galaxies: the acceleration observed in rotation curves tightly correlates with the gravitational acceleration expected ...

One of the earliest indications of the existence of dark matter came from an examination of the rotation of nearby galaxies. The study showed that stars orbit the galaxy at speeds that indicate ...

DARK matter might talk to itself. The mysterious substance that outweighs all visible matter in the cosmos might be best explained if it’s able to interact with itself via an invisible force. Take a ...
