Dark matter

The Associated Press reports on the new computer model of the universe developed by a team of researchers led by MIT Professor Mark Vogelsberger.

In an article published on Nature, Clara Moskovitz reports on the discovery of gamma rays shining from the center of the Milky Way, which researchers believe might be the first indirect detection of the particles that cause dark matter.

Space.com reporter Mike Wall explains new research findings that might help explain the nature of dark matter. “In the future we might well look back and say this was where we saw dark matter annihilation for the first time," Professor Tracy Slatyer is quoted as saying in the article.
