By peering into the centre of our Milky Way, the Hydrogen gas in the CMZ is suggesting that we may be closer to identifying evidence on the possible nature of dark matter." This finding may ...

Adding even a minuscule amount of heat—say, from a lightweight dark matter particle bumping into the chip and depositing some energy—can trip the sensor. "We've been working to make the ...
