Particle physics is is seeing revolutionary developments. Baffling connections are emerging between the physics of gravitation and the physics of elementary particles. With completely…
Weak gravitational lensing is a uniquely promising way to learn how much dark matter there is in the Universe and how its distribution has evolved since the distant past. New work by…
As modern cosmologists rely more and more on the ominous 'dark matter' to explain otherwise inexplicable observations, much effort has gone into the detection of this mysterious substance…
The high speed of stars and apparent presence of 'dark matter' in the satellite galaxies that orbit our Milky Way Galaxy presents a direct challenge to Newton's theory of gravitation,…
A new map of the Earth's gravitational force based on satellite measurements makes it much less resource intensive to find new oil deposits. The map will be particularly useful as the…
For almost 75 years, astronomers have believed that the Universe has a large amount of unseen or 'dark' matter, thought to make up about five-sixths of the matter in the cosmos. With…
New research from the Niels Bohr Institute presents new information that adds another piece of knowledge to the jigsaw puzzle of the dark mystery of the universe - dark matter. The…
