Dark Photons: Hidden Signals from Earth5 days ago22 min

Researchers in Japan have proposed a groundbreaking way to search for dark matter by using Earth's magnetic field as a giant detector. By analyzing a decade of geomagnetic data, they set tighter limits on elusive axions and dark photons, while uncovering promising candidate signals that could hint at previously unseen particles.

The approach also incorporates atmospheric conductivity, turning our planet into a powerful new tool for exploring the invisible universe.
