CHIME collaboration helps identify location of "missing" matter in the universe

mar, 07/21/2026 - 14:06

Estimates of ordinary matter in the universe exceed the amount observed in stars and galaxies, leaving much of it unaccounted for. Researchers from the (CHIME)/Fast Radio Bursts Collaboration, including ɬ﷬ and MIT, have developed a new method to seek out this “missing” matter by combining galaxy locations with fast radio burst detections.
