Perhaps the biggest question in astronomy right now is one that sounds simple: What is the universe made of? We know about protons, neutrons, and electrons, and we know these particles combine to ...

UB chemistry and physics researcher Eva Zurek is a key partner in the Center for Matter at Atomic Pressures (CMAP), a new effort led by the University of Rochester to study matter under extreme ...

A new study suggests that dark matter may consist of particles with different masses. By introducing a two-component self-interacting dark matter model, the researchers show that both the low-density ...

Earlier this week, science writer Paul Sutter covered a bold new study that leans toward so‑called “fuzzy” dark matter as the ...

A few decades ago, astronomers realized they had a problem: They could not find enough matter in the universe to account for all the space in between stars and galaxies. The missing mass begged the ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. — University at Buffalo chemistry and physics researcher Eva Zurek is a key partner in the Center for Matter at Atomic Pressures (CMAP), a new effort led by the University of Rochester ...

A new preprint study suggests that tiny amounts of dark matter — the mysterious material that seems to make up about 85 percent of the matter in the universe — could behave like high-speed projectiles ...
