Medicine & TechnologyAstronomers now have a new method for detecting missing matter, using distant galaxies as "scintillating pins" to identify these mysterious materials.
Researchers have used the accuracy of optical clocks to close in on the mysterious components of dark matter, as well as the coupling between parts - particles and fields - postulated by the standard model of physics.
Dark matter is the firmament of the universe that formed after the big bang. Whether it is warm, fuzzy, or cold remains a subject for speculation for scientists as an exact image is yet to be captured.
A new study conducted by a team of astronomers through the NASA’s Chandra X-Ray Observatory data reveals a new model for the dark matter present in the universe. The dark matter can be fuzzy but not cold.
New evidence shows that other part of galaxies also emits excessive radiation of gamma rays, not only dark matter, leaving the mystery remains unsolved.
