"If we see the lampshade effect in action, it will tell us about what dark matter could be, which is exciting." ...

“These objects collect the dark matter that helps them become a dark dwarf. The more dark matter you have around, the more ...

The four fundamental states of matter are solid, liquid, gas and plasma, but there others, such as Bose-Einstein condensates and time crystals, that are man-made.

Dark dwarfs could be lurking out in the cosmos, according to a new study. These hypothetical, effectively eternal bodies ...

Dark matter, the mysterious form of unobserved matter which could make up 85% of the mass of the known universe, is one of science's biggest manhunts.

Dark matter may account for over three-quarters of all matter in the universe, but it can’t be observed directly. Instead, scientists have to infer its existence based on how other objects in ...

In a chilled lab where temperatures drop close to absolute zero, a speck of magnet hovers in place. This tiny magnet, ...

In this virtual lab, you will be classifying different types of matter as either pure substances or mixtures. If the matter sample is classified as a pure substance, you will determine whether the ...

Scientists from Caltech have developed ‘a new type of matter,’ which they are calling polycatenated architected materials, or PAMs. This new matter doesn’t occur naturally, and uses ...

But as usual in science, there's more to the story. Forces and Fields On human scales of mass and distance, matter obeys the laws of motion described by Sir Isaac Newton.

The new state of matter, called a "bosonic correlated insulator," could lead to the discovery of many new types of exotic materials made from condensed matter, according to the researchers, who ...
