Computer simulations designed and run by researchers at the University of California-Irvine suggest that dark matter does in fact exist and is a central part of explaining how the universe works. The ...

A cosmological simulation study by researchers from the Shanghai Astronomical Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has systematically revealed, for the first time, how the interaction ...

The gaseous halo in our galaxy has a mass of 100 billion solar masses, which implies that it has more matter than in the ...

Computer simulations by astronomers support the idea that dark matter -- matter that no one has yet directly detected but which many physicists think must be there to explain several aspects of the ...

Galaxies are far more than the sum of their stars. Long before stars even formed, dark matter clumped up and drew regular matter together with its gravity, providing the invisible scaffolding upon ...

The Milky Way is part of a billion-light-year-wide structure called the Supergalactic Plane, but we don’t exactly fit in. Most of the galaxies in the Supergalactic Plane are messy elliptical blobs. In ...

In simulations, scientists modeled how our universe would operate if dark matter was cold and slow versus if it was hot or warm and fast. They showed that with cold dark matter, the universe’s ...

This is interesting of course, but the article suffers from problems. Besides the missing article link, the linked spiral arm dynamical mass excess observations are not explained by dark matter as it ...
