World’s most sensitive dark matter detector in the offing

A next-generation dark matter detector that will be at least 100 times more sensitive than its predecessor is on schedule to begin its deep-underground hunt for theoretical particles known as WIMPs, or weakly interacting massive particles. WIMPs are among the top prospects for explaining dark matter, which comprises 85 per cent of all matter in …
