The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has provided groundbreaking insights into the Bullet Cluster, a cosmic collision zone ...

This effect is known as strong lensing, and it is this phenomenon, seen around the six galaxy clusters targeted by the Frontier Fields program, that has been used to map the mass distribution of ...

How do you weigh one of the largest objects in the entire universe? Very carefully, according to new research.

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has produced a new image of the Bullet Cluster, which is a titanic collision between ...

Dark matter may find it tougher to hide in our universe. An international team of researchers has developed a new map of the distribution of dark matter in the universe using data from the Dark ...

Without dark matter, there would have been insufficient mass in the universe for structures to collapse and galaxies to form. [Top] - Three slices through the evolving distribution of dark matter.

To understand gravitational lensing and dark matter, James Jee, a professor at Yonsei University, says to think of a pond ...

But it does have gravity, and thus it shows up in a topographical map of this kind. The Bullet Cluster is one of the best places to see the effects of dark matter, but it’s only one object.

Researchers have created the largest ever map of dark matter, the invisible material thought to account for 80 per cent of the total matter in the universe.. As matter curves space-time ...

But axions were pushed aside as the WIMPs hypothesis gained more steam. Back-of-the-envelope calculations showed that the natural mass range of the WIMP would precisely match the abundances needed to ...

Yet, because dark matter isn't made of atoms comprised of electrons, protons, and neutrons — collectively known as baryons — it doesn't interact with light.Yet, dark matter does have mass, and ...

This effect has allowed Jauzac and her colleagues to calculate the distribution of visible and dark matter in the cluster and produce a highly constrained map of its mass [3]. "Although we've ...
