Story summary

A groundbreaking method to detect dark matter in Earth's ionosphere has been proposed by researchers from the University of Geneva, CERN, and the University of Rome. They believe dark matter, potentially made of axions or dark photons, can convert into ordinary photons. A simple dipole antenna could capture these elusive signals, paving the way for affordable future experiments.
