Scientists at the Perimeter Institute have developed a new simulation code, KISS-SIDM, to study self-interacting dark matter. The tool shows how rare dark matter interactions can heat and collapse... .
He referred to it as "work-from-home dark matter" — a nod to the invisible material that makes up much of the universe. Like dark matter, remote work appears to be widespread, Bloom said, but may ...
For decades, the search for dark matter has focused on hypothetical particles called WIMPs, or weakly interacting massive particles ... "This will provide essential data to support the search for even lighter dark matter particles.".
ValerieBlaine of DarkSky International will discuss the importance of darkness for plants, wildlife and humans at a free event hosted by the WildOnesRock River Valley Chapter, according to a community announcement.
“This is about as close as we can get to seeing dark matter in isolation,” said one astronomer involved in the research, noting that most studies of dark matter rely on its interaction with luminous galaxies.
"WIMPs are still the leading candidate for dark matter, but billions of dollars of experiments have been done, only getting stronger and stronger upper limits, so alternative scenarios have to be considered." ....
