Astronomers have identified many that were previously hidden constellations on the outskirts of the Milky Way. These long, faint strings of stars, remnants of ancient constellations and constellations, could reveal the secrets of the evolution of this galaxy and the invisible dark matter that connects it. The new study, led by Yingtian “Bill” Chen of … Read more
Dark matter is thought to be ubiquitous, surrounding galaxies and helping to create the largest objects in the universe. But no one knows what it is made of. Now, a new theoretical study presents a unique and surprising scenario that may provide some of the missing pieces of the puzzle. Some of the dark matter … Read more
Physicists have created a very precise and very complex atomic clock based on ytterbium, which can test the limits of the Standard Model and even search for invisible dark matter. Led by Taiki Ishiyama, PhD, a physicist at Kyoto University’s School of Science in Japan, the project used the unusual orbital change of atoms, which … Read more
Astronomers have long argued that dark matter is the invisible scaffolding that holds galaxies together. Without its immense gravitational pull, the galaxies’ rotating necks would force them to fly sideways. But now, scientists have found a series of galaxies that do not seem to have their dark matter completely. The latest in this string, known … Read more
