Physicists tighten the net on elusive dark matter - Scientific Inquirer

Determining the nature of dark matter, the invisible substance that makes up most of the mass in our universe, is one of the greatest puzzles in physics. New results from the world’s most sensitive dark matter detector, LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ), have narrowed down the possibilities for one of the leading dark matter candidates: weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs). “While we always hope to discover a new particle, it is important for particle phy…

Physicists Narrow the Search for Elusive Dark Matter

Deep beneath the surface of the Earth, nestled nearly a mile underground in South Dakota, a monumental experiment is redefining the hunt for one of the universe’s most elusive entities: dark matter. The LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) experiment, the world’s most sensitive dark matter detector, has recently announced groundbreaking results that significantly constrain the properties of weakly […]
