"It's possible we will see the new data and confirm one theory over the other — or maybe we'll find nothing, in which case it'll be an even greater mystery to resolve." The century-old mystery of dark ...

Researchers suggest that dark matter might subtly color light red or blue as it passes through, revealing traces of its existence. Using a network-like model of particle connections, they argue that ...
