Mirror Matter - The concept of mirror matter is explained. Mirror matter could form a sizable fraction of the inferred dark matter.
Chandra X-Ray Observatory: Dark Matter Mystery - A brief popular science type introduction to the subject.
UK Dark Matter Collaboration - UK search for Galactic WIMP 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.
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).
Direct Searches for Dark Matter - A review of the methods and findings of searches for nonbaryonic dark matter. PDF format.
Discussion about Dark Matter - An informative radio transcript of two scientists talking about dark matter.
What is Dark Matter? - From the Usenet Physics FAQ.
The Picasso Project; A Dark Matter Search Experiment - The PICASSO project: A Dark Matter Search Experiment based on a Superheated Droplet Detector.
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.

Cold dark matter - Cold dark matter (or CDM) is a refinement of the big bang theory that contains the additional assumption that most of the matter in the Universe consists of material that cannot be observed by its electromagnetic radiation and hence is dark while at the same time the particles making up ...
Warm dark matter - Warm dark matter (WDM) is theorized to have properties which are intermediate between those of hot dark matter and cold dark matter. WDM particles are often typified by sterile neutrinos.
Cryogenic Dark Matter Search - The Cryogenic Dark Matter Search (CDMS) is an experiment designed to directly detect particle dark matter in the form of WIMPs. Using an array of semiconductor detectors at millikelvin temperatures, CDMS has set the most sensitive limits to date on the interactions of WIMP dark matter with terrestrial materials.
Hot dark matter - Hot dark matter is a form of dark matter which consists of particles that travel with ultrarelativistic velocities. The best candidate for the identity of hot dark matter is the neutrino.
Self-interacting dark matter - In astrophysics self-interacting dark matter is a hypothetical form of dark matter consisting of particles with strong self-interactions. This type of dark matter was postulated to resolve a number of conflicts between observations and simulations on the galactic scale and smaller.
