Researchers say the particles have wave-like properties and are trying to make them measurable. If his hypothesis that the particles behave like waves is correct, researchers could also measure them using gravitational wave detectors.

Most current detectors would not be able to detect changes caused by dark matter due to a lack of sensitivity. In the future, detectors will be sent into space that would have a chance of detecting them, “like the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA)” The ESA probe “Euclid” should also shed light on the darkness.
