Today's Top Science Headline: "Beguiling" --20-Year-Old Dark Matter Signal in Milky Way Still Detected
March 29, 2018
A group of physicists at DAMA, a collaboration of Italian and Chinese researchers, says that it is still detecting the presence of dark matter — the mystery substance thought to make up 85% of matter in the Universe — 20 years after it saw the first hints of such a signal. Physicists searching for dark matter hope to measure the tiny amount of energy given off when particles in a ‘halo’ of dark matter thought to envelop the Milky Way interact with atoms of ordinary matter on Earth.
