- 1Scientists Hunt Dark Matter a Mile Underground in South Dakota●🌌 ICYMI: About 85% of all matter across the # universe remains undetected by standard scientific instruments. Operating
Roughly 85% of all matter in the universe is dark matter, invisible to standard scientific instruments. UCLA astrophysicist Alvine Kamaha and the LUX-ZEPLIN collaboration are searching for it using a detector operating nearly a mile (1.6 km) underground in South Dakota, where rock shielding blocks cosmic rays so rare particle interactions from dark matter can be tracked.
