Scientists are about to unleash a powerful new weapon in the hunt for dark matter, the mysterious substance that accounts for around 85% of the “stuff” in the universe. Like a super-weapon developed by a stereotypical supervillain, this new dark matter detector is hidden over a mile deep beneath the French Alps. This highly sensitive detector, developed by an international …

Obsidian Entertainment is renowned for its RPGs, but it has failed to top its 2010 masterpiece, Fallout: New Vegas, despite putting out some pretty awesome games over the years. However, with The Outer Worlds 2 and its massive emphasis on player choice, where every bit of your character impacts how the story unfolds, Obsidian might be nearing those golden years …

Mysterious “dark dwarfs” may glow eternally by burning invisible dark matter — and spotting them could finally crack one of the universe’s greatest mysteries. (Artist’s concept.) Credit: SciTechDaily.com Astronomers may have discovered a whole new type of star — mysterious “dark dwarfs” that could glow forever by feeding on dark matter, the invisible substance thought to make up most of …

There are many ways to boost brain power, from exercising more often to learning new skills. But what about boosting the actual size of your brain? According to a new study, wearing the right kind of perfume or cologne can enlarge your brain’s gray matter. Researchers from Kyoto University and the University of Tsukuba in Japan asked 28 women to …

New research suggests that dark matter could gather over vast periods of time at the heart of Jupiter-sized planets, creating black holes that eat these worlds from within. This striking concept may mean extrasolar planets, or “exoplanets,” could be used to study the mystery of dark matter. In this new model, superheavy dark matter particles could be trapped by exoplanets, …

Exoplanets might hold hidden clues about dark matter. New research suggests these distant worlds could even collapse into black holes, challenging existing theories. Credit: SciTechDaily.com Scientists’ model indicates that dark matter inside gas giants could collapse into black holes detectable by observation. Astronomers have identified more than 5,000 planets orbiting stars outside our solar system. These distant worlds, known as …

This means these three values can’t be independent; if you know two of them, you can derive the third. How do physicists deal with this? We define the speed of light as exactly 299,792,458 meters per second. (How do we know it’s exact? Because we define a meter as the distance light travels in 1/299,792,458 of a second.) Then we …

When searching for the unknown, classic physics wisdom holds that a bigger detector boosts the chances of discovery. A physicist is taking that advice to heart, advancing a bold plan to use none other than Ganymede—Jupiter’s largest moon—as a dark matter detector on an astronomical scale. Dark matter refers to the “invisible” mass that supposedly constitutes 85% of the universe. …

In a new study, scientists began pondering a pretty wild question: What if black holes can convert dead star matter into dark energy, the mystery force driving the acceleration of the expansion of the universe? If so, then it just might explain a multitude of “hiccups” in our models of the universe. This new theory proposes that black holes could …
