«A silent search for dark matter: The world's most sensitive dark matter detector demonstrates record
low radioactivity levels.»
While the results did not detect dark matter particles — known as «weakly interacting massive particles» or «WIMPs» — the combination of record
low radioactivity levels with the size of the detector implies an excellent discovery potential in the years to come.
The world's most sensitive dark matter detector demonstrates record
low radioactivity levels.
