Cosmic Hide and Seek: The Search for the Missing Mass - Discrepancies in calculations of galaxy mass and visible matter leads scientists to hypothesize about unseen material in the universe. Page includes information about methods of testing the theory and possible candidates for this mysterious substance.
CRESST - Cryogenic Rare Event Search with Superconducting Thermometers; a search for dark matter in the Gran Sasso laboratories.
DAMA - Experiment searching for dark matter with low activity scintillators in the Gran Sasso laboratories.
Dark Energy and the Microwave Background - Theory and measurements of sizes of fluctuations of cosmic microwave background agree with omega=1 giving a strong evidence for dark matter.
The Early History of Dark Matter - The history of the discovery of dark matter in the Universe is reviewed. Emphasis on early work by Zwicky (1933), Smith (1936), Babcock (1939) and Oort (1940).
Is Dark Matter Theory or Fact? - Physicists Rhett Herman of Radford University and Shane L. Larson of Montana State University discuss the theories - from Scientific American.
LSST Observatory - Large-aperture Synoptic Survey Telescope ('Dark Matter Telescope'): proposed 8.4 m, 7 square-degree field telescope.
Mirror Matter - The concept of mirror matter is explained. Mirror matter could form a sizable fraction of the inferred dark matter.
White Dwarfs Shed Light on Dark Matter - Report (March 23/01) of astronomical evidence suggesting white dwarf stars are a potential source for dark matter. Findings also contribute to stellar evolution theory. (March 23, 2001)
