Will we observe dark matter as a particle or a wave?
New Scientist asks whether dark matter will ever be detected as a particle or as a wave, highlighting the fundamental uncertainty about the nature of the substance thought to make up most of the universe's matter. The piece weighs competing candidates, from conventional particle models like WIMPs to wave-like ultra-light dark matter, and considers which experimental approaches could settle the question.
Why now: New ongoing experimental results or debate in physics have renewed attention on dark matter's true nature.
