Dark Matter May Have Been Detected by Accident, Scientists Reveal

Scientists modeled how dark-matter clouds around merging black holes could reshape gravitational-wave signals.

After checking 28 LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA detections, they found one 2019 event, GW190728, that matches the scenario.

The evidence is still too weak to claim a confirmed dark-matter detection.

If verified, it could open a new way to study dark matter through black-hole mergers and gravitational waves.
