Heavy Dark Matter Could Break the Standard Model, New Research Shows
New research warns that heavy dark matter particles could interfere with the Higgs boson, leading to instability in the Standard Model of particle physics. If confirmed, this could reshape how dark matter is studied, suggesting lighter particles or new interaction mechanisms. Scientists may need to adjust experiments to focus on low-mass candidates...

Researchers Propose Evidence of Primordial Black Holes in Cosmic Objects and Earthly Materials
A study led by the University at Buffalo suggests primordial black holes (PBHs), formed in the early universe, could leave traces in both cosmic and terrestrial objects. Researchers believe PBHs, which are much smaller than stellar black holes, might leave hollow structures in celestial bodies like asteroids or moons. Additionally, passing through ...

James Webb Telescope Breaks Record with Discovery of Early Galaxies Dating 200 Million Years After Big Bang
The James Webb Space Telescope has spotted five galaxy candidates dating back to 200 million years after the Big Bang. These findings could transform our understanding of early cosmic evolution. Discovered via gravitational lensing, these galaxies, if confirmed, predate known formations and offer vital insights into the universe’s infancy. Scient...

Dark Matter Could Be Linked to a ‘Dark Big Bang’, New Study Suggests
New research suggests that dark matter may have originated from a "Dark Big Bang," a cosmic event distinct from the standard Big Bang. Proposed by scientists at Colgate University, the theory explores scenarios where dark matter could have been introduced into the universe up to a year after the initial Big Bang. Unlike regular matter, dark matter ...

World's 2nd Fastest Supercomputer Simulates Universe’s Largest Evolution Model
The Frontier supercomputer, the second fastest globally, has completed the most comprehensive universe simulation to date. Led by Argonne National Laboratory, the project used the HACC code to model cosmological hydrodynamics. By incorporating factors beyond gravity, like gas dynamics and star formation, the simulation provides a detailed understan...

Researchers Propose New Methods to Spot Atom-Sized Primordial Black Holes Moving Across Solar System
Recent studies suggest that microscopic primordial black holes may exist within the solar system, potentially impacting planetary orbits and satellite movements. These small, early-universe black holes could also contribute to the mystery of dark matter, which makes up 85% of the universe's mass. Methods are being developed to detect their gravitat...

Black Holes Explosions Driven by Hawking Radiation May Unveil New Physics
Primordial black holes, potentially formed shortly after the Big Bang, may be undergoing explosions across the universe, driven by Hawking radiation. Physicists believe that capturing these rare events could reveal undiscovered particles and fundamental physics. Dr. Marco Calzà and Dr. João G. Rosa from the University of Coimbra have proposed way...

Asteroid Bennu Examines Potential Fifth Force and Dark Matter Connection
Research on asteroid Bennu reveals no evidence of a potential fifth force that could explain dark matter. NASA’s OSIRIS-REx mission tracked Bennu’s orbit with exceptional accuracy, allowing scientists to examine for subtle deviations. This study provides insight into the unknown forces in the universe and suggests that further investigation of ...

Euclid Space Telescope Unveils First Images of Its Cosmic Atlas
The first stunning images from the European Space Agency's Euclid telescope reveal a mosaic of over 14 million galaxies, marking just 1% of its cosmic atlas. Captured over two weeks, this vast collection aims to enhance our understanding of dark matter and dark energy, contributing to the largest and most accurate map of the universe yet. The teles...

Ancient Black Holes Might Be Passing Through Our Solar System Frequently, Study Claims
Primordial black holes, which may have formed shortly after the Big Bang, could pass through the solar system once per decade. These black holes are much lighter and smaller than typical black holes, yet their gravitational effects may help scientists uncover the mystery of dark matter. Detecting gravitational disruptions from these flybys might be...

NASA Roman Space Telescope to Investigate Galactic Fossils and Dark Matter in 2027
NASA’s Roman Space Telescope, set to launch in 2027, will explore ancient galaxies and investigate dark matter. With its wide field of view and high-resolution imaging, the telescope will study galactic fossils—groups of ancient stars that hold clues about galaxy formation. Dr. Robyn Sanderson, deputy principal investigator at the University of...
