Dwarf galaxy clustering challenges standard cold dark matter paradigms

A research team led by Prof. Wang Huiyuan from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) has made a groundbreaking discovery, identifying for the first time an exceptionally strong clustering pattern in diffuse dwarf galaxies. Their study, published in Nature, poses new challenges to the prevailing galaxy formation models within the Λ-Cold Dark Matter (ΛCDM) framework.
