"Bosenovas: Unseen Supernovas Concealed in Our Surroundings, Reveals Groundbreaking Study"
TL;DR Summary
New research suggests that invisible stars made of dark matter, known as boson stars, may be dying in massive explosions called "bosenovas." These explosions would be completely invisible but could be detected through ultralight dark matter detectors. Boson stars, made of a type of particle called a boson, would slowly gain mass over time until reaching a critical tipping point where they collapse, releasing energy in the form of high-energy particles. The researchers hope that experiments searching for lightweight dark matter will find traces of these bosenova explosions.
