‘Dark Matter’ May Be a Whole Shadow World of Mysterious Atoms and Forces
SMRTR summary
Dark matter researchers are exploring new theories beyond traditional WIMP and axion models, considering the possibility of a "dark sector" with its own particles and forces. Novel experiments using techniques from condensed matter physics, like studying phonons in polar materials and superfluid helium, are being developed to search for these elusive particles that may interact weakly with ordinary matter.
