The latest dark matter experiment kicks ... ALPS II will join forces with other behemoth dark matter detectors like LUX-ZEPLIN in South Dakota and XENON1T under the Apennine Mountains in ...

XENON1T and experiments like it have yet to discover any hints of dark matter, but they have been able to rule out certain possibilities. XENON1T is amid a transformation into XENONnT, ...

Rice University physicist Christopher Tunnell, right, with co-worker Daniel Coderre of the University of Freiburg, Germany, at the XENON1T experiment beneath a mountain in Italy. The collaboration ...

tl;dr 3.5 sigma result compatible with solar axion particles, which would be a new fundamental particle that could explain dark matter. Further work needed to exclude tritium contamination ...

And while XENON1T was built to capture the interaction between a dark matter particle and the nucleus of a xenon atom, the detector actually picks up signals from any interactions with the xenon.

Experiments like LUX and XENON1T are designed to find these candidates, known as weakly-interacting massive particles (WIMPs), inside a huge tank of liquid xenon.
