New Black Hole Study Suggests Singularities May Not Exist
A new study suggests charged black holes may avoid singularities through quantum effects and Hawking radiation. The findings could reshape theories of gravity, space-time, and even the origins of dark matter.

Scientists Reconsider Dark Matter Theory Amid Growing Cosmological Mysteries
Scientists propose a self-interacting Dark Matter model in which particles collide and form dense cores. The theory could explain mysterious gravitational effects seen in galaxy lenses, stellar streams, and dwarf galaxies across the universe.

Scientists Challenge Black Hole Theory, Say Dark Matter Core May Lie At Centre Of Milky Way
Lead author Valentina Crespi explained that this dense dark matter core could bend light so strongly that it creates a dark region in the centre.

Astronomers Find ‘Impossible’ Galaxy ACDG-2 With Virtually No Stars and a Massive Dark Matter Core
Astronomers have identified CDG-2, a faint galaxy in the Perseus cluster that appears to be composed almost entirely of dark matter. Located 300 million light-years from Earth, it was discovered by tracking globular star clusters using data from Hubble, Euclid, and Subaru telescopes. Scientists estimate that about 99% of its total mass is dark matt...

New Dark Matter Simulation Could Change How Galaxies Are Thought to Evolve
Scientists at the Perimeter Institute have developed a new simulation code, KISS-SIDM, to study self-interacting dark matter. The tool shows how rare dark matter interactions can heat and collapse galaxy halos, potentially explaining dense galactic cores and the early formation of supermassive black holes.

NASA Finds Most Distant Calm Galaxy Cluster Ever Seen in Early Universe
Astronomers using NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory have discovered SPT-CL J2215-3537, a massive galaxy cluster located 8.4 billion light-years away. Nicknamed the “Champagne Supernova” cluster, it is the most distant relaxed cluster ever observed, showing no signs of recent collisions. Its calm structure and active star formation challenge ex...

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...

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...

Flattened Dark Matter May Explain Mysterious Gamma-Ray Glow at Milky Way’s Core, Study Finds
Dark matter near the Milky Way’s center appears flattened, not spherical, according to new simulations. The discovery may explain a puzzling gamma-ray glow long observed by NASA’s Fermi telescope, reigniting theories that dark matter collisions produce high-energy radiation in the galaxy’s core

Dark Dwarfs: New Star-Like Objects May Reveal Nature of Dark Matter
Scientists have proposed a new class of stellar objects called “dark dwarfs,” sub-stellar bodies that may glow faintly from the energy released by annihilating dark matter particles. Found near the galaxy’s core, these objects could hold crucial clues about the elusive nature of dark matter. Powered not by fusion but by WIMP-like particles, d...

NASA’s Chandra Reveals Stunning Multi-Wavelength Image of Andromeda Galaxy
NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory has released a stunning composite image of the Andromeda galaxy, combining data across the electromagnetic spectrum. This multi-wavelength view highlights X-ray flares near the central black hole and pays tribute to Dr. Vera Rubin’s pioneering dark matter research. The image, also presented through a musical son...

Energy Signals From Milky Way's Core Could Unveil New Type Of Dark Matter: Study
A new study suggests that clues about dark matter may be hidden in the Milky Way's Central Molecular Zone, where unexplained chemical reactions could be caused by a lighter form of dark matter.

New Dark Matter Hypothesis Suggests Ionisation Clue in Milky Way’s Core
Researchers propose that an overlooked dark matter candidate may explain unusual ionisation levels in the Milky Way’s Central Molecular Zone (CMZ). This theory suggests that lightweight, self-annihilating dark matter particles could be producing electrons and positrons, influencing cosmic chemistry. The findings challenge conventional views, offe...

Invisible Boson Stars Could Hold the Key to Dark Matter's Mysteries
Boson stars, invisible celestial objects theorised to form from axions, are now at the centre of dark matter research. Axions, light and wave-like bosons, may cluster under gravity, forming these mysterious entities. Unlike normal stars, boson stars neither emit light nor interact with regular matter in observable ways. With sizes ranging from smal...

A Nearby Supernova May End Dark Matter Search, Claims New Study
A supernova within the Milky Way could revolutionise dark matter research by producing gamma rays from axions, elusive particles theorised to exist during a star's core collapse. Scientists at UC Berkeley are calling for gamma-ray telescopes to monitor the sky, ensuring readiness for the next nearby supernova. Such an event could confirm the axion'...
