Unveiling Dark Matter's Identity Through Distorted Einstein Rings.

Researchers have analyzed several gravitationally lensed objects to determine the true identity of dark matter. By studying how light gets bent out of shape in weirdly warped Einstein rings, scientists have found that axions are a more probable candidate for dark matter than WIMPs. Axions are minute particles that likely behave like waves due to quantum interference. However, follow-up studies are required to prove this theory.
