The Large Underground Xenon (LUX) experiment located at Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF) in South Dakota, US, has released its latest results in the search for dark matter. Following the c...
Read article 'Galactic map sheds light on dark energy'
The map shows galaxies being pulled towards each other by dark matter, while on much larger scales it reveals the effect of dark energy ripping the universe apart.
Read article 'ATLAS explores the dark side of matter'
Astrophysics and cosmology have established that about 80% of the mass in the universe consists of dark matter. Dark matter and normal matter interact gravitationally, and they may also interact weakl...
Read article 'Gamma-ray excess is not from dark matter'
Two research teams found that the gamma rays of the excess emission at the galactic centre are not distributed as expected from dark matter.

On 17 December, the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) successfully launched the DArk Matter Particle Explorer (DAMPE) satellite from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwest China, markin...
Read article 'XENON opens a new era for dark-matter searches'
In recent years, evidence for the existence of dark matter from astrophysical observations has become indisputable. Although the nature of dark matter remains unknown, many theoretically motivated can...
Read article 'CAST: enlightening the dark'
Our star has been the target of human investigation since the beginning of science. However, a plethora of observations are not yet understood. A good example is the unnaturally hot solar coron...
Read article 'XENON100 sees no evidence of dark-matter interactions with electrons in liquid xenon'
Nearly 400 days of data taken by the XENON collaboration were used to look for the telltale signature of dark matter, an event rate that varies periodically over the course of a year. The null re...
Read article 'CMS and the continuing quest to unveil dark matter'
The search for particles that could constitute dark matter in the universe relies on detecting their interplay with the Standard Model particles through a three-pronged approach: via direct-detection ...
