Dark Matter Map revealed by researchers
... note that their map closely matches computer simulations of dark matter theoretically predicted by the cold dark matter model - an added benefit, as all of the evidence for dark matter to date is so far indirect, said the researchers. "While we now...

Have ancient filaments helped uncover the nature of dark matter?
... exactly? No one knows for sure; some think it could be plain old slow-moving cold dark matter, while others think it might be warm dark matter – a slightly lighter and faster version of the chillier stuff. However some are now postulating...

Most accurate measurement of Universe's dark matter revealed by DES survey
... model – called Lambda-CDM – includes two key ingredients; cold dark matter (CDM) and dark energy. However dark matter has never been directly detected, while it is not known whether dark energy is actually a constant or changes over time. Now that...

Astronomers find a galaxy with no dark matter
... know. They have ruled out AGC 114905 being stripped of dark matter by large nearby galaxies because there aren’t any, and have also discounted the so-called cold dark matter model, as it would mean the introduction “of extreme parameter values...

New physics needed to explain early expansion of the Universe
... constant which describes the energy density of space – a characteristic that we now associate with dark energy, while the CDM part stands for Cold Dark Matter. The model is frequently referred to as the standard model because it ties together many...
