The physicists are careful not to claim that they detected dark matter. But they are saying that the event doesn’t fit the description of any other known particle interaction in the subatomic world.

Scientists have made a possible breakthrough in the hunt for dark matter, though they stopped short of ​saying they have finally detected this elusive cosmic component.

Scientists reported a xenon interaction in the LZ experiment that may match a WIMP. They said the single event is intriguing but falls short of a dark matter discovery.

New submitter greytree shares a report from Brown University: LUX-ZEPLIN, an experiment co-led by Brown University faculty and students, observed a particle interaction that could be interpreted as a signal from WIMPs, a dark matter candidate -- but researchers need more data to confirm. [...] The...
