In a simulation of the early universe, shortly after the Big Bang, tornado-like strings (dark blue loop) throw off axion particles. These axions should still…
Scientists from Durham University and Kings College London have presented a theoretical review in a new study strongly supporting the search for axion dark matter.…
Astrophysicists have reconstructed a dwarf galaxy shredded in a collision with the Milky Way, a finding that could aid in the search for dark matter.…
University of Wisconsin–Madison physicists have made one of the highest performance atomic clocks ever. Their instrument, known as an optical lattice atomic clock, can…
In simulations, collisions cause smaller star groupings to lose material. In a new Nature Astronomy study, an international team led by astrophysicists from the University…

A representation of the evolution of the universe over 13.77 billion years. The far left depicts the earliest moment we can now probe, when a…
Gravitational waves are cosmic ripples in the fabric of space and time that emanate from catastrophic events in space, like collisions of black holes and…
Dark matter concept art. An international team of astronomers led by researchers from the Netherlands has found no trace of dark matter in the galaxy…
The hunt for gravitational wavesGravitational waves are distortions or ripples in the fabric of space and time. They were first detected in 2015 by the…
To understand how the universe formed, astronomers have created AbacusSummit, more than 160 simulations of how gravity may have shaped the distribution of dark matter.…
The Roman Space Telescope is a NASA observatory designed to unravel the secrets of dark energy and dark matter, search for and image exoplanets, and…
To get to SNOLAB’s cleanroom, where the SENSEI experiment is to be housed, a trip more than a mile underground inside a working mine, pictured…
