Could neutron stars be the factories producing dark matter?
While we know neutron stars are not made of dark matter, new research suggests they might actually produce it. This video explores how these dense stellar remnants could be generating the exotic axion, a leading candidate for the universe's missing mass.
For a long time, scientists have understood that neutron stars are distinct from dark matter. However, recent data has shifted the conversation from what neutron stars are made of to what they might create. The video examines the possibility that these stars act as factories for the axion, an exotic particle that remains one of the most popular candidates in the search for dark matter.
