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

An interview with me about the origin of the Universe and Dark Energy was aired today on Danish Radio4. We also got to talk about, among others, the Hubble tension and New Early Dark Energy (NEDE). Below is a link to the full interview (in Danish).

The ESA Euclid experiment will map around a billion galaxies in the next six years and give us new insights into the properties of Dark Matter and Dark Energy. Today, Euclid released its first pictures: Euclid’s first images.
