What is dark matter? All about the universe’s biggest mystery after scientists found possible signal in South Dakota gold mine

Dark matter is an invisible form of matter believed to make up about 85% of all matter in the universe. Scientists have never directly detected it, but its gravitational effects on galaxies provide strong evidence that it exists. The mystery has gained fresh attention after the LUX-ZEPLIN experiment in a…

In 2006, South Dakota began turning a mine that produced 41 million ounces of gold into America’s deepest underground lab; today scientists work 4,850 feet down searching for dark matter and neutrinos

A former gold mine in South Dakota has been transformed into a major underground science facility. The Homestake Mine once produced about 41 million ounces of gold and 9 million ounces of silver, but today its tunnels are used to study some of the Universe’s biggest mysteries. Scientists conduct experiments…

The death of dark energy is a false alarm – the universe is still accelerating

A 2025 study by South Korean researchers caught the attention of the astronomy community when it suggested that the evidence behind dark energy could be wrong. Dark energy makes up about 70% of the universe but nobody knows what it is. This makes it a frequent target for scepticism.

Dark matter's secret address revealed? Scientists say it may be hiding in fifth dimension; here's what the new theory says about one of the universe's biggest mysteries

A new study proposes dark matter resides in a hidden extra dimension. This hidden dimension may naturally align particle masses, creating dark matter resonance. Such resonance could explain why dark matter interacted strongly in the early universe. However, these interactions are now almost undetectable in the present day. This theory…

Cristiano Ronaldo's famous CR7 nickname inspired the name of a galaxy. Here's its origin and how it got its name

Cosmic Redshift 7, a galaxy discovered in 2015, holds significance for early universe study. Its name honors footballer Cristiano Ronaldo's famous nickname, a deliberate astronomical coincidence. This distant galaxy, observed over 800 million years after the Big Bang, is unusually bright. Researchers initially hoped it contained the universe's first stars,…

The universe is less uniform than we thought – cosmology may need a radical rethink

Modern cosmology rests on a simple assumption: if we look on large enough scales, matter should be distributed evenly, with no preferred direction within the cosmos. This is known as the cosmological principle.
