New record set in the search for dark matter—with a major assist from Rochester scientists
Researchers collaborating on the world’s most sensitive dark matter detector credit Rochester’s contributions in detecting weakly interacting massive particles.
Dark matter mysteries unraveled by researchers in underground South Dakota mine
The digital electronics designed, developed, and installed by Rochester researchers are an integral part of the world’s most powerful dark matter detector, now in operation at the Sanford Underground Research Facility.
First Results from Dark Matter Detector Announced
A mile underground in the Black Hills of South Dakota, a new experiment named LUX has proven itself the most sensitive dark matter detector in the world.
Dark Matter Detector Installed Underwater, Underground
An experiment to look for one of nature’s most elusive subatomic particles is underway in a stainless steel tank nearly a mile underground beneath the Black Hills of South Dakota. And among the dozens of scientists involved in the research is physics Professor Frank Wolfs.
