Gamma Ray Anomaly Hints at Dark Matter Presence, Sparking Scientific Debate
New gamma ray signals from space could be dark matter. Scientists are debating if this is the first direct sign of dark matter. Find out what it means.

Scientists found a new signal in space that might be dark matter. This signal is like a halo of gamma rays, which is what some theories predicted dark matter would look like.

Milky Way May House a Wormhole, Forged by Elusive Dark Matter
Scientists think a wormhole could be in the Milky Way, possibly linked to dark matter. Gamma rays from the galaxy's center might show dark matter collisions.

🎉 A new paper with Einstein@Home gamma-ray pulsar discoveries 🔭
The new publication “Einstein@Home Searches for Gamma-ray Pulsars in the Inner Galaxy” was accepted for publication in The Astrophysical Journal and is posted on the arXiv preprint server today.
📄 https://arxiv.org/abs/2509.21307
The international science team reports the discovery of four previously unknown gamma-ray pulsars towards the direction of the Galactic Center. Most likely the four discoveries are foreground sources from the Galactic disk.
🙏 We thank our volunteers, without the support of whom this research could not have happened.
All of our publications and PhD theses related to the project at https://einsteinathome.org/science/publications.

The “Eye of Sauron” spotted in deep space
👁️ Okay, so the plasma jet in the blazar PKS 1424+240 isn't on a tower in Mordor, and it's not the fire-rimmed eye of a powerful tyrant. But if you don't think of Sauron's eye when you see the image released today, throw the first ring.
📡 Behind this deep image of the jet at unparalleled resolution are 15 years of ultra-precise radio observations with the Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) and an international research team.
Curious? Please take a look at our latest press release:

On this day seven years ago, an international research team (led by @mpi_grav and @MPIfR_Bonn) published the first millisecond pulsar flashing only in gamma rays.
The discovery was possible thanks to the volunteer distributed computing project @einsteinathome, which the researchers used to find many more gamma-ray pulsars.
Millisecond pulsars are neutron stars – remnants of stellar explosions about 20 km in size with strong magnetic fields – that spin many hundreds of times per second around their axis.
Prior to this discovery, all millisecond pulsars observed in gamma rays also emitted radio waves. The newly discovered “PSR J1744-7619” (rotating 213 times per second) is the first known exception.
