Image left: Giuseppe Donatiello. Image right (background): NASA/DOE/Fermi LAT Collaboration. Dark matter might be disappearing and sending its signal - but not very fast - in dwarf satellite galaxies Dark matter is even more elusive than thought before. This is the main message of a new study by a group of scientists that includes Shin'ichiro Ando of the Institute of Physics at the University of Amsterdam. The results of the new study were published in Physical Review D Rapid Communications this week. The nature of dark matter remains one of the greatest mysteries in physics.
