Scientists just built a detector that could finally catch dark matter

The new detector reaches sensitivity to particles one-tenth the electron mass, enabling the first search for sub-MeV dark matter, which makes up about 80% of the universe's mass.

Summary by Science Daily
Physicists have unveiled a new superconducting detector sensitive enough to hunt dark matter particles smaller than electrons. By capturing faint photon signals, the device pushes the search into uncharted territory.
