As physicists continue their struggle to find and explain the origin of dark matter, the approximately 80% of the matter in the universe that we can’t see and so far haven’t been able to detect, researchers have now proposed a model where it is produced before the Big Bang.
The new model is called WIFI, which stands for dark matter production during Warm Inflation via Freeze-In.
What if a mineral could reveal what it’s seen over the millions—or billions—of years it’s been sitting deep within Earth? An interdisciplinary global network of scientists is reviving efforts to unlock the secrets that minerals hold. The top goals are to identify dark matter, learn more about neutrinos, and use both as cosmological probes. Over […]
Uuden teorian mukaan pimeä aine saattoi syntyä vasta tavallisen aineen muodostumisen jälkeen. Kyseistä tapahtumaa voisi kutsua toiseksi, pimeäksi alkuräjähdykseksi.
Readers of this paper will probably need no reminder that most of the universe is missing. The atoms and light you see—from people to planets, stars and galaxies—make up just 5% of the universe. The rest is a two-part mystery—a substance called “dark energy”, which pushes space apart, comprises 68% of the cosmos; what’s left, […]
TAMEST Member Katherine Freese, Ph.D. (NAS), The University of Texas at Austin, is a world-renowned theoretical astrophysicist who recently discovered a possible new type of star, powered by dark matter itself. Her team utilized data and images provided by the James Webb Space Telescope and found several objects that appear to be almost as old […]
De potentielles étoiles noires ont été repérées dans les régions les plus reculées de l’univers jamais observées. Ces structures influencées par la matière noire seraient les plus anciens témoins des origines de notre univers.
