While this finding may sound immaterial, understanding the structure of white dwarfs could ultimately prove key in discovering what mysterious dark matter is made from. White dwarfs are the core ...

Scientists have theorized that it interacts with dark matter, a hypothetical form of matter that has the opposite effect of holding galaxies together through its gravitational pull. In 1998, ...

Dark matter could be the result of fermions pushed into a warped fifth dimension. This theory builds on an idea first stated in 1999, but is unique in its findings. Dark matter makes up 75 percent ...
