Acceleron
An acceleron is a hypothetical subatomic particle postulated to relate the mass of the neutrino to the dark energy conjectured to be responsible for the accelerating expansion of the universe.[1][2][3] The acceleron was postulated by researchers at the University of Washington in 2004.[4]
