Physicists hunt dark matter a mile under South Dakota
Original: 🌌 WATCH: About 85% of all matter across the # universe remains undetected by standard scientific instruments. Operating
Scientists led by UCLA astrophysicist Alvine Kamaha, through the LUX-ZEPLIN collaboration, are searching for dark matter from a detector operating nearly a mile underground in South Dakota. Roughly 85% of all matter in the universe remains undetected by standard instruments, and the experiment tracks rare particle interactions that could reveal it. The effort is drawing attention online among space and physics enthusiasts.
Why now: Renewed public interest in the LUX-ZEPLIN dark matter experiment and the mystery of undetected cosmic matter
