Researchers from the University of Hong Kong and Beijing Normal University have developed a new way to investigate dark matter by simulating its behavior as a wave. Their 3D models of “fuzzy” dark matter reproduced the gravitational lensing of a distant quasar more accurately than previous approaches, revealing interference patterns that could help distinguish wave-like dark matter from conventional models. The work offers a new way to probe what may make up most of the universe’s matter. Thank you for listening to Bedtime Astronomy — your guide to the cosmos.
