‘(As) detailed in a new paper published in the journal Nature, an international team of researchers says that it may be giving off a signal. So they want to build a new type of detector they liken to a “cosmic car radio,” that could listen to what the dark matter is saying and perhaps crack its mysteries.

Such a device would “tune in” to the frequency of axions, hypothetical particles that have emerged as one of the leading candidates for what dark matter is.

“We can now build a dark matter detector that is essentially a cosmic car radio, tuning into the frequencies of the wider galaxy until we find the axion,” said King’s College London researcher and coauthor David Marsh in a statement.

Axions are thought to be extremely light and only weakly interact with normal matter, which makes detecting them extremely difficult.

The proposed detector would use a special material to generate “axion quasiparticles,” (AQ) that according to the team could allow scientists to detect axions within the next 15 years…’ Victor Tangermann via Futurism
