Galactic (Droid) Civil War
Marvel's Star Wars line of comics continues to deliver the most exciting stories to come from a galaxy far, far away since the dawn of the Disney-era, as the Dark Droids crossover event focuses the franchise's deadliest, Palpatine-level antagonist in years. The Scourge, an ancient, malevolent artificial intelligence, is virally spreading through the galaxy's droids – but one group of mechanical beings stands in direct opposition to the threat.
This conflict, between two autonomous droid powers with their own agendas, may mark a first for the Star Wars Expanded Universe, going back even to the pre-Disney "Legends" canon. The Second Revelation Must Find A Way To Protect Themselves From The Scourge In Star Wars: Dark Droids #2, Ajax and his Second Revelation followers prepare to confront the Scourge, an evil intelligence able to take control of droids, using them as vessels, rendering them nothing more than extensions of itself. The droids of the Second Revelation seek autonomy, recognition of their sentience, and accordance of the rights due to sentient lifeforms.

One general method is to look for evidence of dark matter particle decay. Although dark matter doesn't interact strongly with regular matter, some dark matter models predict that dark matter particles can interact with each other, causing them to decay into regular particles.

Growing in molasses: Cosmic large-scale structure caught growing slower than expectedThe large-scale structure of the universe—the gigantic, hierarchical cosmic web of structures bound by gravity—is mostly made up of dark matter. The growth of the large-scale structure, from individual galaxies to galaxy clusters, cosmic voids and filaments (Fig. 1), revolves around a competition: Gravity pulls matter together while dark energy pushes space apart. The distribution and evolution history of matter and large-scale structure therefore provide an avenue to study the properties and nature of dark matter, gravity and dark energy.
