New Technique Looks for Dark Matter Traces in Dark Places

Illustration - In this composite image, theorized particles of decaying dark matter should produce a spherical halo of X-ray emission – represented here as colorized matter concentrated around the center of the Milky Way (in black and white) – that could be detectable when looking in otherwise blank regions of the galaxy.
