Researchers say space atomic clocks could help uncover the nature of dark matter

Artist’s impression of a space atomic clock used to discover dark matter. 1 credit: Kavli IPMU Studying an atomic clock aboard a spacecraft inside Mercury’s orbit and very close to the sun could be the trick to uncovering the nature of dark matter, suggests a new study published in natural astronomy. Dark matter makes up …
