Astrophysicists use wave simulations to open a new window on dark matter
Astrophysicists from the University of Hong Kong and Beijing Normal University have used 3D wave simulations to study how 'fuzzy' dark matter influences gravitational lensing. The study provides a more physically realistic model that aligns closely with observed quasar images, offering new insights into the nature of dark matter.
Why it matters
Understanding dark matter is essential for completing the Standard Model of physics and explaining the fundamental structure of the universe.
