Study Results Provide New Insights into Dark Matter

In a study submitted to Physical Review D, a journal of the American Physical Society, astrophysicists from the University of California, Irvine, have discovered that gamma-ray photons originating from the Milky Way galactic center are consistent with the interesting leeway that dark-matter particles are destructing each other in space.

'Magnetricity' For High-Density Data Storage

When bar magnets with north and south magnetic poles are sawed in half, the resultant pieces of the magnet also possesses a north and a south pole. Magnetic monopoles were not possible. However, recently, monopoles in the form of "quasiparticles" have been demonstrated in laboratories. These particles are the collective excitations that occur among many atoms.

Astronomers Discover Dark Matter Close to Sun

Astronomers at the ETH Zürich and the University of Zürich along with a team of international researchers have discovered large quantities of dark invisible matter in close proximity to the sun. It has been believed till now that a massive “halo” of dark matter surrounds the Milky Way Galaxy, but these observations contradict this theory.
