Unveiling Dark Matter with Gravitational Waves

TL;DR Summary
Cosmologists have used computer simulations to study the production of gravitational wave signals in different simulated universes with dark matter. Their findings suggest that counting the number of black-hole merging events detected by future observatories could reveal whether dark matter interacts with other particles. This indirect measure could provide insights into the nature of dark matter and help explore the large-scale structure of the universe.
