Resumen de Dark matter could spawn Borg-like stars
Dark matter is thought to account for 80 per cent of the matter in the universe, but hardly interacts with ordinary matter. This means it cannot be observed directly, so its constituents remain a mystery. One theory suggests that it is made of hypothetical particles called axions. Unlike the protons, neutrons and electrons that make up ordinary matter, axions can share the same quantum state. They also attract each other via gravity, so they clump up. Those two properties mean that the clumps form a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC)--a type of matter in which all the particles occupy the same quantum state, according to Chanda Prescod-Weinstein at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and her colleagues.
