For centuries, scientists have puzzled over globular clusters, the dense star systems that orbit galaxies without dark matter ...

Information could become the fifth state of matter alongside gas, plasma, liquid, and solid states. A scientist has proposed ...

Furthermore, it is very exciting to find a new class of celestial objects in the simulation, especially since we have already identified some candidates that exist in our Milky Way galaxy.' ...

A study led by the University of Surrey has used high-resolution simulations to solve a centuries-old cosmic mystery in astronomy—the origin of globular clusters—and unexpectedly discovered a new type ...

For centuries, astronomers have puzzled over the origins of one of the universe's oldest and densest stellar systems, known ...

Researchers used the UK’s DiRAC High Performance Computing Facility to run EDGE simulations over several years. The DiRAC ...

In the 1980s and ’90s, when Carlos Frenk worked on some of the first theories of cold dark matter—“cold” refers to the invisible particles’ relatively slow speed—he thought the idea wouldn’t last very ...

Computer simulations by astronomers support the idea that dark matter -- matter that no one has yet directly detected but which many physicists think must be there to explain several aspects of the ...

Joanna Thompson: This is Scientific American’s 60 second science. I’m Joanna Thompson. In 2018, a group of astronomers from Yale discovered something odd: two galaxies that had almost no dark matter.

Physicists searching — unsuccessfully — for today's most favored candidate for dark matter, the axion, have been looking in the wrong place, according to a new supercomputer simulation of how axions ...

In new simulations, 'dark atoms' formed dark stars and could even trigger the formation of black holes. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it ...

This is interesting of course, but the article suffers from problems. Besides the missing article link, the linked spiral arm dynamical mass excess observations are not explained by dark matter as it ...
