Studies shed light on dark matter by simulating twins of our Milky Way galaxy

Cozmic’s Milky Way clones are cracking the universe’s dark code

Scientists have built detailed Milky Way simulations under strange new physical laws to probe dark matter, revealing how different versions of the universe might behave and helping us get closer to the real one.

Studies shed light on dark matter by simulating twins of our Milky Way galaxy

A USC-led research team has created a series of supercomputer-simulated twins of our Milky Way galaxy—which could help scientists unlock new answers about one of the biggest mysteries in the universe: dark matter, the invisible substance that makes up about 85% of all matter in existence.

Axions And Photons: Quantum Enhancement Of Dark Matter Detection Methods.

Recent theoretical work demonstrates that utilising squeezed coherent states of photons, containing added quantum noise, significantly enhances the probability of converting photons into axions, weakly interacting particles proposed as candidates for dark matter or dark energy, offering a potential pathway to improve experimental detection methods for these elusive components of the universe.
