About Us
Our mission
Dark Matter is a science-focused news site that aims to make complex ideas in physics, astronomy, and technology accessible without sacrificing accuracy. We combine clear explanations with thoughtful analysis to help curious readers stay on top of discoveries that matter.
How we work
Articles may be written, assisted, or edited using AI tools, but every story is reviewed by a human editor before publication. We aim to attribute sources, link back to original research where possible, and correct mistakes promptly when they are identified.
Editorial principles
- Accuracy over hype: we avoid overstating results, especially for early-stage research.
- Transparency: we make it clear when stories are speculative or based on emerging evidence.
- Respect for readers: we design the site to be fast, readable, and low on dark patterns.
Independence and conflicts
We aim to be independent and transparent about any potential conflicts of interest. If a story involves a sponsor, partner, or affiliate relationship, we will label that clearly in the article.
Corrections
If you spot an error, please let us know using the Contact page. For factual corrections, we will update the article where appropriate and note significant changes.
