Latest Space Breaking News: Astrophysicists propose new method to directly detect ultralight dark matter

Link: https://phys.org/news/2025-04-astrophysicists-method-ultralight-dark.html

Summary: The detection of dark matter, the elusive type of matter predicted to make up most of the universe's mass, is a long-standing goal in the field of astrophysics. As dark matter does not emit, reflect or absorb light, it cannot be observed using conventional experimental methods.
