Signatures of hydrogen in spectrograms hint at places in the universe where new physics might lurk.
Using a supercomputer, a team of physicists has confirmed a discrepancy between observations of the universe and theoretical predictions about its structure.
Dark matter is the catch-all name for about 27% of the universe’s content. It is so named because it’s never been directly observed, but its presence is evident in its gravitational effects. Instruments like the, are slowly reducing the potential mass range of particles that may be responsible for dark matter. Some of the popular candidates for dark matter are Weakly Interacting Massive Particles , axions, and hidden photons, among others.
The team uses its model to monitor dark matter concentrations in the universe, but to also investigate discrepancies between observations of the cosmos and theoretical predictions of its structure.

Dark matter seen through forest: Study examines matter distribution and supports unknown influence or new particleThe dense peaks in the wavelength distribution graph observed in a Lyman-Alpha forest indeed resemble many small trees. Each of those peaks represents a sudden drop in 'light' at a specific and narrow wavelength, effectively mapping the matter that light has encountered on its journey to us.

Dark matter flies ahead of normal matter in mega galaxy cluster collisionAstronomers have untangled a messy collision between two massive clusters of galaxies in which the clusters' vast clouds of dark matter have decoupled from the so-called normal matter. The two clusters each contain thousands of galaxies and are located billions of light-years away from Earth.
