Case for axion origin of dark matter gains traction
Jun 26, 2020 (Nanowerk News) In a new study of axion motion, researchers propose a scenario known as "kinetic misalignment" that greatly strengthens the case for axion/dark matter equivalence. The novel concept answers key questions related to the origins of dark matter and provides new avenues for ongoing detection efforts....
