This galaxy without dark matter is bending the rules of space
The complexities of space are pretty mind-boggling, but there are a handful of accepted theories on which scientists base their research. Space is a vacuum, for example, while a light-year is about 5.88 trillion miles. So researchers at Yale Universi...
Xenon detector finds no dark matter after 20-month study
Despite being buried a mile under the South Dakota surface and isolated in rock and water for 20 months, the Large Underground Xenon (LUX) dark matter sensor failed to detect anything. While this is yet another unsuccessful attempt to observe the mys...
China launches satellite to unlock dark matter’s secrets
Dark matter is that pesky, hidden material that keeps foiling scientists' efforts to come up with a grand unified theory of physics. China's space agency has set about to find it with the launch of DAMPE, the Dark Matter Particle Explorer. It success...
Dark Energy Chameleon Particles Studied in an Experiment
Experiments get conducted time after time. But such an experiment as Holger Muller and his fellow researchers carried out at UC Berkley are seldom seen. They plan to find chameleons which are...

Cosmic Neutrinos Exist Confirm Scientists
A team of scientists from Antarctica have confirmed the existence of Cosmic Neutrinos. Cosmic Neutrinos are tiny energy filled particles. Neutrinos are considered to be from far out in the Milky Way....
Smallest Oxymoronic Black Hole Detected by NASA
Astronomers at NASA have identified the smallest black hole ever in the galaxy. The black hole although small by comparison is supermassive. The size of the black hole is small in comparison to other...
Fermilab NOvA Experiment Sees First Proof of Neutrinos Change Over 500 Miles
Scientists conducted the NOvA experiment. And it confirmed that neutrinos oscillated in their journeys. The supersensitive detector functioned well and showed the behavior of these phantasmagoric...
854 Ultra-Dark Galaxies Discovered In The Coma Cluster
A group of scientists from Stony Brook University and the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan have spotted some 854 very dark galaxies in the ambit of the Coma Hub. A special telescope was...
