and adds a little more unseen dark matter to the mix. It also means that the Universe is a little older:

estimate the amount of unseen dark matter in the cosmos and measure the dark energy that is accelerating the expansion of the Universe.

The contribution of dark matter swells from 22.7%to 26.8%%leaving normal matter making up just under 5%.Planck also confirmed some oddities earlier picked up by the WMAP.

or on the weblike scaffold of dark matter that connects groups of galaxies. Recent advances in supercomputing and a fresh computational approach let the recent simulation called Illustris do both at once.

The simulation handles ordinary matter as well as enigmatic dark matter and dark energy. It also accounts for complex phenomena such as cooling gas star formation supernova explosions

and distant galaxy have created together a cosmic magnifying glass that could improve our understanding of the universe's expansion and dark matter.

The finding could help investigate dark matter the stuff thought to make up over 80 per cent of our universe's matter.

And that in turn may depend on the galaxy's dark matter content and distribution since massive dark matter halos are thought to cocoon galaxies making up most of a galaxy's mass.

We have these numerical simulations of dark matter that make pretty strong predictions of what dark matter halos should look like Schmidt says.

So if you could get a really good measurement of how dark matter is distributed within a bunch of galaxies one can essentially test the dark matter model better than we can at present.

Such systems could also help in the search to understand dark energy the mysterious entity thought to be behind the acceleration of the universe's expansion.

The ultimate fate of the universe is thought to depend on whether the acceleration is changing. Type 1a supernovae are used already to measure the rate of expansion over time

and provide a better understanding of dark matter and dark energy, which is believed to make up 95 percent of the Universe."

are aiming to see dark matter for the first time ever thanks to the device's upgrade. Instead, they have discovered the pentaquark, for now.

Physicists have set their sights on finding dark matter, the undetectable material that makes up 84 per cent of matter in the universe and binds galaxies together yet

and describe dark matter, it will mark a huge leap forward in our understanding of the universe.

About a decade ago, Cubist tried its hand at mining microbial dark matter, says Eisenstein. The company gave up the hunt

'Bacteria are littered with genes that are unknown--it's like genetic dark matter, 'Selle said.''Now we can learn more about what these elements provide
