  Berkeley CA (SPX) Nov 22, 2024 The elusive nature of dark matter, which makes up 85% of the universe's mass, could soon be revealed with the help of a nearby supernova and precise timing, according to researchers at the University of California, Berkeley. Astrophysicists suggest that a supernova within the Milky Way or a satellite galaxy could produce a flood of axions, a leading dark matter candidate particle. If axions exist, they would emerge in massive quantities during the first ten seconds of a massive star's collapse int ... read more |
