Story summary
- Researchers from the University of Warsaw and Max Planck Institute propose supermassive charged gravitinos as dark matter candidates; detection could unify gravity with particle physics and Planck scale physics.
- Gravitinos would be extremely heavy and electrically charged, leaving traces in detectors.
- Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) in China is set to begin operations in late 2025 to detect them.
