The composition of dark matter remains a mystery, but a new theory involving quantum tunneling may have eliminated some candidates.
Results for "galaxies"
Could dark matter be measured around black holes?
Dark matter could be aggregating around black holes, providing a possible means of indirectly measuring its properties.
The surprising influence of shape on twisted graphene
Scientists are exploring the behavior of electrons in helicoidal graphene strips, a unique form of graphene with a twisted shape.
Modified theory of gravity eliminates the need for dark energy
Many physicists are still skeptical that dark energy can fully explain gravity, and are therefore exploring alternative theories.
Galaxy clusters help confirm the Standard Model of Cosmology
Comparing simulated X-ray emissions from galaxy clusters to real observations provides support for the Standard Model of Cosmology.
James Webb Space Telescope observes regions of star formation
The powerful capabilities of the JWST allowed scientists to penetrate dust and gas clouds to capture crucial data on new star formation.
String theory may offer an alternative to dark energy
A new study evaluates gravity using string theory, a promising candidate for describing particle interactions at their most fundamental level.
Could black holes be dark energy?
Astronomers looking at how black holes grow over time may have found the answer to one of the biggest problems in cosmology.
Searching for dark matter in our solar system
Sending atomic and nuclear clocks into the inner reaches of our solar system could help scientists find proof of elusive dark matter.
