Missing Matter Found in Cosmic Halos | Boston News

Scientists have finally cracked the mystery of the “missing” matter in the universe—thanks to cosmic radio flashes called FRBs and the CHIME telescope. For decades, nearly 90% of expected matter vanished from sight, suspected to be ultra-diffuse gas. Now, by analyzing nearly 3,000 FRBs and how their signals bend through space, researchers led by Wang have mapped this hidden stuff: it’s not just floating around—it’s forming massive halos around galaxies, stretching millions of light-years. This suggests galaxies are far more chaotic than thought, with explosions from supernovas and black holes blasting gas outward. The universe just got a whole lot messier—and weirder.
