Within the standard framework of non-collisional cold dark matter (CDM), various models are considered: WIMPs (Weakly Interacting Massive Particles, with masses of around 100 GeV\/c2), primordial black holes, and ultralight axion-like particles (mass of 10-22 to 1 eV\/c2). In the latter case, dark matter behaves like a wave, described by a Schr\u00f6dinger equation, rather than as a collection of point particles. This generates specific behaviors at small scales, while following standard dynamics (CDM) at large scales.<\/div>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/phys.org\/news\/2025-10-vortices-ultralight-dark-halos-reveal.html\" target=\"_blank\">Go to Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The nature of dark matter remains one of the greatest mysteries in cosmology.
