A new theoretical study suggests fusion reactors could do more than generate energy, they might also produce particles linked to dark matter.

Researchers at the University of Cincinnati say they have worked out, at least on paper, how fusion reactors could produce subatomic particles known as axions, a challenge that stumped two of America’s most famous fictional physicists.

In the CBS sitcom “The Big Bang Theory,” particle physicists Sheldon Cooper and Leonard Hofstadter, who share an apartment, grapple with the same idea across three episodes in Season 5 but never solve it.

hrmmm....apartments with black holes, doesn't seem like a good idea to me...
