Scientists speculate that some dead stars made of the densest matter in the known universe, so-called “neutron stars,” may act as traps for dark matter particles that collide and annihilate …
New theory says dark matter shapes the universeFlavio Coelho – Getty Images It is known that dark matter interacts weakly with the visible universe, but was this always the case? …
