The second scenario is that the low-frequency gravitational waves were produced by a “dark matter field.” Axions are hypothetical elementary particles that, if they exist, are believed to ...

“Some theories suggest dark matter behaves more like a wave than a particle,” Alexandre Göttel, a physicist at Cardiff University and lead author of the study, told Phys.org. “These waves ...

Gravitational waves, ripples in space-time predicted by ... is that the very same form of matter may be identified as dark matter, the mysterious substance believed to make up most of the ...

A recent study proposes that dark matter waves could interact with Earth's atmosphere, producing faint radio waves that we could detect. For decades, astronomers have known dark matter exists ...

So, score one for the wave-like axion explanation for dark matter. This doesn't close the book on the dark matter debate, but it does open new avenues of exploration. Future observations of ...

A research team from Japan has now proposed detecting the hypothetical PBH dark matter by studying the gravitational waves induced by the primordial curvature perturbations that produced the PBHs.
