US astronomers on Tuesday presented the most solid proof yet of the existence of dark matter, a mysterious substance believed to make up more than a quarter of the universe.

A team of researchers is proposing that massive quantities of dark matter formed dark stars in the early Universe, preventing the first generations of stars from entering their main sequence stage.

Dark energy is the mysterious force that many physicists think is causing the expansion of the universe to accelerate. In 2004, a couple of scientists claimed that the quantum fluctuations of empty space could be the source of dark energy and suggested a test for this idea.

JJ Abrams - a huge Stephen King fan who has studded many references to the Tower series into his TV show, Lost - is reportedly in talks to do what many thought impossible, and turn the apparently unfilmable seven-book series into a movie.

"I'm a BASKF, a Big-Ass Stephen King Fan, and before you go making the obvious crude jokes, I'll bet you're something of a BASKF yourself. Judging by my man Steve's sales receipts, damn near every other person on the planet can lay claim to BASKF-dom."

Two weeks ago, a reader called Katerina wrote of her distress at discovering her husband is hooked on internet porn, writes Lesley Garner. Her letter drew an enormous response and this week we return to the issue, focusing on the very different viewpoints of those whose lives are affected

Scientists will perform the world's most advanced simulations of exploding white dwarf stars with an allocation of 2.5 million hours of computer processing time. The computing-time allocation will make possible computer simulations that could help scientists tackle the major question vexing cosmologists today: what is the nature of dark energy

The main annual conference of the American Astronomical Society began this morning, and it didn't take long to roll into action. In one of the very first sessions, a scientist described some startling hints of a fifth force of nature, on top of the Fab Four: electromagnetism, gravity, and the two forces that govern atomic nuclei.
