Is it possible that the universe’s most mysterious substance could finally leave a visible trace?” For decades, this question ...

Dark matter (DM) is a type of matter estimated to account for 80% of the universe's total mass, but it cannot be directly ...

The new detector based on DNA could also prove much cheaper — about $100,000 rather than millions of dollars for today's dark matter detectors, Freese said.

New Detector Will Aid Dark Matter Search Date: December 12, 2008 Source: Massachusetts Institute of Technology Summary: Several research projects are underway to try to detect particles that may ...

To put it briefly, SuperCDMS's experimental detector, the team concluded, can now rule out dark matter particles down to about a fifth of a proton 's mass — and potentially even lower masses.

The LUX-ZEPLIN experiment is the world’s largest dark matter detector. It’s searching for a particular type of hypothetical dark matter particle, called Weakly Interacting Massive Particles.

The Xenon1T detector was shut down in December 2018 and is in the process of getting an upgrade. It will contain more liquid xenon and a lower radioactive background to improve sensitivity.

BREAD consists of a cylindrical metal tube that traps and funnels dark photons, and the outer part of this cylindrical tube corresponds to the wall, explains team member Stefan Knirck, a physicist at ...

Dark matter is said to make up four fifths of the mass of the universe, but finding it is another matter entirely. A team of scientists, including University College London, have turned off their ...

Carefully submerging the delicate detector into its final home -- a water-filled vat that's 20 feet tall and 25 feet in diameter -- took more than two months, Mock said. Scientists are currently ...

And by running the two detectors at the same time, anytime a signal is seen in the neutron detector, any signal seen simultaneously in the dark-matter detector can be safely ignored.
