<ul><li>An international group of physicists has proposed a connection between Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) and the higher-than-expected flux of antimatter cosmic rays detected by NASA's Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS-02) on the International Space Station.</li><li>WIMPs are hypothetical particles that could be candidates for dark matter.</li><li>The researchers suggest that the unexpected detections of antinuclei by AMS-02 could provide insights into the nature of dark matter.</li><li>Their analysis indicates mixed implications for WIMPs, indicating that the current WIMP model may be incomplete.</li></ul>

Cosmic antimatter could be created by annihilating WIMPs
