Will we observe dark matter as a particle or a wave?
Scientists are weighing two competing pictures of dark matter: as an undiscovered fundamental particle, or as a wave-like phenomenon detectable through its effects on galaxies and light. The debate centres on which experimental approach — direct particle searches or observations of wave-like signatures — is more likely to finally reveal what dark matter actually is.
Why now: Ongoing lack of direct dark matter detections keeps physicists debating the most promising way to observe it.
