Cosmic filaments help set first limits on dark matter's decay into gravitons
Physicists are exploring a new method to detect dark matter by searching for its decay into gravitons, the hypothetical particles that carry gravity. The study suggests that gravitons could potentially be detected through their interaction with magnetic fields in cosmological filaments.
Why it matters
Understanding dark matter decay could solve one of the biggest mysteries in physics and provide a new way to observe the invisible 85% of the universe's mass.
