Fusion Reactors Could Generate Axions, Offering a New Path to Detect Dark Matter
Fusion energy may have an unexpected cosmic role beyond clean power. A new study suggests fusion reactors could produce axions, hypothetical dark matter particles, when high-energy neutrons from fusion reactions strike reactor walls. These interactions may generate axions that escape shielding undetected. Scientists propose future fusion plants cou...

Astrophysicists Map Invisible Universe Using Warped Galaxies to Reveal Dark Matter
Astrophysicists mapped the invisible universe by studying warped galaxies, revealing dark matter distribution and dark energy behaviour, supporting the standard cosmology model, and enabling new cosmic insights.

James Webb Space Telescope Could Illuminate Dark Matter in an Unexpected Way
New research suggests the James Webb Space Telescope could help uncover the true nature of dark matter. By observing strange, elongated galaxies in the early universe, scientists believe JWST may reveal how dark matter shaped cosmic structure, offering clues that could narrow down long-standing theories about this invisible substance.

James Webb Space Telescope Could Help Reveal Dark Matter in a Way Scientists Did Not Anticipate
New research suggests the James Webb Space Telescope could help scientists understand dark matter by studying oddly shaped early galaxies. These elongated galaxies may form due to dark matter’s gravitational behaviour, offering indirect clues about whether ultralight or warm dark matter particles shaped the early universe.

Researchers Found Mysterious Objects That Could Be "Dark Stars"
In smaller dark stars, when their dark matter runs out, normal nuclear fusion can begin, and they gradually become normal stars.

Neutrino Detectors May Unlock the Search for Light Dark Matter, Physicists Say
Physicists now believe that massive neutrino detectors—built to observe rare solar and cosmic particles—could also detect extremely light dark matter that traditional experiments miss. By monitoring subtle annual variations in their background signals, observatories like JUNO and Borexino may open a new frontier in uncovering the universe’s m...

10 Safest Hill Stations In India For Solo Women Travellers
Before choosing a destination, safety planning matters just as much as packing. These three basic habits shape most smooth solo hill journeys.

Scientists Finds Galaxies Rotating Together Inside Massive Dark Matter Thread
The filament is a part of the vast cosmic web composed primarily of dark matter and interspersed with lighter layers of normal matter.

Astronomers Spot Galaxies Moving in Sync Across a 50-Million-Light-Year Stretch
Astronomers have identified a 50-million-light-year-long cosmic filament in which 14 gas-rich galaxies all rotate in sync with the structure itself. The filament, mapped about 140 million light-years away, appears young, cold and shaped by slow cosmic flows. Galaxies on opposite ends move in opposite directions, suggesting the entire filament is sp...

New Gravitational-Wave Signal May Reveal Primordial Black Holes Born After the Big Bang
Scientists have spotted an unusual gravitational-wave signal that may reveal the universe’s first primordial black holes—tiny relics dating back to the Big Bang. Recorded by LIGO–Virgo–KAGRA in November 2025, the event involves an object far lighter than any known stellar remnant. If verified, it could reshape theories of black holes and da...

Fermi Telescope Detects Gamma-Ray Halo That Could Be First Direct Dark Matter Signal
NASA’s Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope has detected a faint halo of high-energy gamma rays around the Milky Way’s centre—matching predictions for dark-matter annihilation. The finding, reported by Professor Tomonori Totani, could represent the first direct glimpse of dark matter, but scientists caution that alternative explanations remain and...

Scientists May Have Caught The First Real Glimpse Of Dark Matter, Universe's Most Elusive Ingredient
The new study led by Prof Tomonori Totani of the University of Tokyo analysed Fermi telescope observations of the Milky Way's centre - the region where dark matter is expected to be densest.

Dark Matter May Have Been Seen for the First Time in NASA Gamma-Ray Data
A new analysis of NASA’s Fermi telescope data reveals a faint gamma-ray halo around the Milky Way’s core, matching predictions for annihilating dark-matter particles. Researchers say no known astrophysical source fits the signal, raising the possibility of the first direct evidence of dark matter. Experts, however, stress caution and call for v...

Dark Matter and Dark Energy Might Not Exist After All, New Study Suggests
A new theory suggests dark matter and dark energy may not exist. Physicist Rajendra Gupta’s model proposes that the universe’s forces weaken over time, naturally explaining cosmic expansion and galactic motion without unseen matter or energy.
-
Dark Matter May Behave Like Ordinary Matter Under Gravity, New Study Finds
A new study shows dark matter falls into cosmic gravity wells much like ordinary matter, narrowing one of astronomy’s biggest mysteries. Researchers say any unknown force acting on dark matter must be very weak, though future missions could detect smaller effects. The findings bring scientists closer to understanding how the universe’s unseen m...
