Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Dark matter is one of the basic cornerstones of the modern theory of structure, and the evolution of the universe and its physical nature is among the hottest topics of modern fundamental physics. At the microscopic level, dark matter should represent new stable forms of particles. Originating from the very early universe, it reflects the existence of processes, governed by the (unknown) laws of ultra-high energy physics. Being dominant in the matter content of the modern universe, it still remains enigmatic for its direct and indirect searches. We focus in this issue on the possible physical nature of dark matter in its relationship with physics beyond the standard model and physics of the very early universe and the ways to probe this nature in underground, collider, and cosmic ray experiments, as well as in astronomical and astrophysical data. We invite authors to contribute to this issue and to help us to make a step in the attempt to shed light on this dark side of the modern Universe.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Universe is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
