Scientists at Johns Hopkins University suggest that supermassive black holes located at galactic centers could function as natural particle accelerators which potentially generate dark matter particles. The fast rotation and intense magnetic fields of these objects could launch massive plasma jets that generate high-energy collisions which resemble those found in human-made colliders such as the Large Hadron Collider (LHC).

The cosmic environments differ from modern particle accelerators because they offer a cost-effective natural setting to study high-energy physics and dark matter properties.
