Dark matter makes up 85% of all matter in the universe, but nobody knows what it is made from.

A new deep-learning algorithm is set to be unleashed upon images of galaxy clusters in search of the telltale signs of this invisible substance.

It all comes down to a property of dark matter known as its interaction cross section, which refers to the basis by which dark matter is an unidentified type.

Harvey's algorithm will help us find a faster answer to the puzzle that is dark matter.

The algorithm and its results were described on Sept. 6 in Nature Astronomy.

The high-altitude balloon mission called SuperBIT flew around the world for two months in 2023 imaging galaxy cluster collisions.
