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 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.
