A Nearby Supernova May End Dark Matter Search, Claims New Study
A supernova within the Milky Way could revolutionise dark matter research by producing gamma rays from axions, elusive particles theorised to exist during a star's core collapse. Scientists at UC Berkeley are calling for gamma-ray telescopes to monitor the sky, ensuring readiness for the next nearby supernova. Such an event could confirm the axion'...

NASA Telescope Finds Clues To Dark Matter At Andromeda Galaxy
NASA's Fermi gamma-ray space telescope has found a signal at the centre of the neighbouring Andromeda galaxy that could be coming from dark matter, an unknown substance that makes up most of the universe, according to a study.

NASA Probe Spots Hints of Gamma-Ray Cycle in 'Active' Galaxy
Astronomers using data from NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope have detected hints of periodic changes in the brightness of a so-called "active" galaxy, whose emissions are powered by a supersized black hole.
