In the ongoing quest to understand dark matter, researchers are now wondering if a strange phenomenon occurring at the heart of the Milky Way galaxy could be from a different form of dark matter.
Dark matter is a mysterious substance that could make up 85 percent of the Universe’s mass, and researchers have been working endlessly to find and understand it. Now, a new study published in Physical Review Letters is looking at a new candidate for dark matter that could be causing unexplained chemical reactions within the Milky Way.
For this study, researchers from King’s College London first noticed something strange about the clouds at the center of the Milky Way.
“At the centre of our galaxy sit huge clouds of positively charged hydrogen, a mystery to scientists for decades because normally the gas is neutral. So, what is supplying enough energy to knock the negatively charged electrons out ...
