Scientists scanning the heart of the Milky Way have spotted a tantalizing signal: a possible ultra-fast pulsar spinning every 8.19 milliseconds near Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at our ...

Sagittarius A* may be a dense dark matter core instead of a black hole, offering a new explanation for the Milky Way’s central gravity.

Astronomers have spent decades hunting for dark matter by looking for light that isn’t there — and that strategy has mostly failed. Now, a team of researchers has tried something radically different.

They slip through your skin, your walls, and the whole Earth without leaving a mark. Neutrinos earn the nickname “ghost particles” because they almost never interact with anything. Yet those rare ...
