Excess x-rays from neutron stars could lead to discovery of new particle

A team of scientists, including a University of Minnesota researcher, have found that mysterious x-rays detected from nearby neutron stars may be the first evidence of axions, hypothetical particles that many physicists believe make up dark matter. If their theory is confirmed, the researchers’ findings could help physicists unravel several mysteries of the universe.
