In a new paper “we explore the possibility that exotic forms of dark matter could expose humans on Earth or on prolonged space travel to a significant radiation dose. The radiation exposure from dark matter interacting with nuclei in the human body is generally assumed to be negligible compared to other sources of background radiation. However, as we discuss here, current data allow for dark matter models where this is not necessarily true”. See: https://arxiv.org/abs/2411.10521

Gravitational atoms could form from Planckian Interacting Dark Matter (PIDM) in the early universe — we computed this and the gravitational wave signature of their decay: https://arxiv.org/abs/1903.12168
