thereby confirming a key prediction of the fuzzy dark matter model. The next step is to build even more sophisticated models to explore what these "stars" might look like so that astronomers can ...

Dark energy and dark matter refers to the unseen energy and ... for the accelerating expansion of the Universe. The symmetron model is one of the most compelling theories of dark energy and ...

This model explores a mechanism through which dark matter would be produced during inflation, before the "reheating" phase when elementary particles appeared. The WIFI model is based on the idea ...

This is the first step to confirming a key prediction of the fuzzy dark matter model. However, there is still a lot of work to be done. The next step is to build even more realistic simulations of ...

Ciaran O’Hare, a particle astrophysicist at the University of Sydney who studies dark matter. This is essentially a tension in the model where ... and would have to build very specific ...

Yet despite researchers’ best efforts over decades to work out the nature of this “dark matter” – to find some clue direct or indirect as to what it’s made of, or even make it in the lab ...
