Paradox: In the hottest, brightest environment in our solar system, physicists have searched for dark matter particles. They used NASA's Parker Solar Probe to search for "dark photons" in the solar corona – candidate particles for dark matter. In the energy-rich plasma, some of these particles would have to transform into normal light particles and thus become detectable. The result of the measurements now further limits the space in which dark …

One of the most famous discoveries in physics could be wrong – the double-slit experiment has long been thought to confirm that light can be a wave, but its results can be fully explained by using only quantum particles In the double-slit experiment, light waves interfere with one another.
