Nature “Katherine Freese, director of Nordita, the Nordic Institute for Theoretical Physics in Stockholm, says that she and her collaborators have calculated that the excess could be caused by a type of dark matter that features in a less-popular theory of supersymmetry.”
Dagens Nyheter “‘All that we know, our bodies, the air we breathe, the walls around us, the planet and the stars – everything is made of atoms. But the matter of atoms make up only five percent of the universe. We try to find out what the remaining 95 percent are,’ says Katherine Freese, a […]

But the effect of dark matter is still strong enough that scientists are considering using DNA or RNA molecules as WIMP detectors.”
by Andrew Grant “Katherine Freese, a theoretical astrophysicist at the Nordic Institute for Theoretical Physics in Stockholm, agrees that conclusively proving dark matter from positrons will be very difficult. ‘My bet is on pulsars,’ she says.”
