Did dark matter just flash a neutrino signal from a dying dwarf galaxy?

Researchers searched IceCube's neutrino data for signals from dark matter annihilation in stellar streams, focusing on disrupted dwarf galaxies. They found a 3.1-sigma excess pointing to Boötes III with a best-fit dark matter mass of 26.5 TeV. If confirmed by future detectors, this could be direct evidence of dark matter particles colliding and converting to neutrinos.
