A research team led by scientists from Tokyo Metropolitan University utilized a new technique to set limits on the lifetime of Dark Matter (DM).
The team's investigation focused on axion-like particles (ALPs) and their decay process, which emits light in the near-infrared part of the spectrum.
Using a spectrographic technique, the researchers observed light from two dwarf galaxies and found no decay, setting stringent limits on the frequency of decay events or the lifetime of ALPs.
The results provide new insights but also present tantalizing prospects for future investigations in the search for Dark Matter.
