 In today's science, the search for the nature of dark matter ranks among the greatest challenges, but the key to fully understanding this substance may well lie within the stars. Specifically, the neutron star     Scientists have inferred the existence of dark matter, but have not observed it directly. It is extremely difficult to detect dark matter particles in experiments on Earth, because dark matter particles rarely interact with regular matter. In order to detect these rare signals, we would need an enormous detector, perhaps so large that it would be impossible to build one on Earth. Natur offers an alternative option in the form of neutron stars - the entire neutron star can act as a dark matter detector. Researchers have found a way to use the information gained from these unique natural dark matter detectors more accurately in research published in Physical Review Letters. They form when giant stars explode in supernovae explosions, making them t...
