Instead they built a simple toy model that contained only two components: a large percentage of fuzzy dark matter and a smaller percentage of a simple, ideal gas. They then computed how these two ...

One mile beneath a mountain in Italy, scientists at the Gran Sasso National Laboratory fill a particle detector with liquid xenon, hoping to observe evidence of dark matter. The idea is that ...
