A tiny superconducting sensor could catch a signal from dark matter particles—axions. A special modulation trick lets it tune out noise and listen across an enormous frequency band all at once. It’s like finding a single radio broadcast without knowing its wavelength—and opening a door to solving the mystery of dark matter.

🎯 Axions are so light that their mass is trillions of times less than an electron’s. But if they fill the Universe, their collective weight neatly explains why galaxies spin faster than they should.
