Deep beneath the planet’s surface at the Sanford Underground Research Facility in South Dakota, scientists are waiting for something that may never happen – the interaction of weakly interacting ...

Astronomers have identified an extraordinary galaxy composed almost entirely of dark matter. According to the journal Science, the discovery was made during the analysis of archival images from the ...

We have known for several decades that the universe is expanding. Scientists use multiple techniques to measure the present-day expansion rate of the universe, known as the Hubble constant. These ...
