But with a new set of calibration techniques that improve the detector's sensitivity, researchers hope to soon, finally, spot dark matter. (science.howstuffworks.com)

«We have looked for dark matter particles during the experiment's first three - month run, but are exploiting new calibration techniques better pinning down how they would appear to our detector,» said Alastair Currie of Imperial College London, a LUX researcher. (sciencedaily.com)
