An axion is smaller than an atom and hypothetical, meaning scientists have never seen one and don't know if they exist. Today on the show, what does it mean if axions exist? Could they be the solution to the mysterious dark matter problem? And how can scientists find one? I'm Regina Barber, and you're listening to Shortwave, the science podcast from NPR.

Okay, Chanda, tell me more about axions and your research. Like, what are they? What are you looking into? And what would you like to find out?

Our listeners are going to love that. They love the wave-particle duality. Yeah.

I loved those when I was an undergrad. Why don't you tell everyone what a Bose-Einstein condensate is?

Okay, and so are they a kind of particle we can find by just like smashing things together? Like, can we use particle accelerators like CERN to find them?

OK, so like how do we go into space and look at our telescopes? And and like how do we find confirmation that axions are really doing this work?
