The experimental results of detecting dark matter particles called axions will see light in 2024. Dark matter "axions" are hypothetical elementary particles believed to be a constituent particle of dark matter. It has extremely small mass and features such as long lifespan and low temperature. But these tiny particles have not yet been observed through experiments because they require sensitive detection tools and extremely strong magnetic fields.

The BabyIAXO experiment in Hamburg, Germany, uses a solar telescope made of a 10 meter long magnet and an ultra sensitive and noise free X-ray detector. It tracks the center of the sun for 12 hours every day, capturing the conversion of axions into photons, which is expected to achieve more accurate observation and analysis of axions. It is understood that in the extremely lightweight window, some small-scale problems of galaxies may be solved by the flat distribution of axions at the center of the galaxy. Therefore, exploring axions helps to understand the distribution and role of dark matter in the universe. Meanwhile, axions are also considered powerful candidates in the development path of quantum computers.
