Are Pulsars the Key to Finding Dark Matter?

The search for dark matter continues, with astronomers developing new hypotheses to search for this invisible gravitational influence on the Universe. One proposed dark matter particle candidate is the axion, which physicists have searched for since the 1970s. One characteristic of axions is that they should convert into light in a strong electromagnetic field. According to a new paper, they should create a faint glow around pulsars, generating intense magnetic fields. The post Are Pulsars the K...
