However, underground detectors are tuned to do just that, i.e., to capture rare events of dark matter particle collisions with an atom inside a detector. (sciencedaily.com)
This has motivated designs for experiments that search for dark matter particles in a different size range. (seeker.com)
We have experiments in underground laboratories trying to directly detect dark matter particles coming in from space, and so far they have all come up empty. (discovermagazine.com)
