Could neutron stars hold the key to observing dark matter? Researchers believe studying them might one day reveal this elusive substance.
Dark matter could be lurking in Jupiter’s atmosphere
Astronomers propose that an infrared glow observed in Jupiter’s atmosphere may be dark matter particles colliding.
Matter of science: Dialectics and the laws of nature
In this third and final article in a series on philosophy and science, we look at how modern science shows the validity of dialectical processes and how this can help guide science.
Saving a dark matter theory from a quantum tunneling flaw
Tiny interactions between dark matter particles may resolve discrepancies between theory and astronomical observations caused by quantum tunneling.
Hidden dark matter stars and where to find them
While dark matter’s enigmatic nature persists, Proca stars made of dark photons could help shed light on this cosmic mystery.
