From Space Daily:
Scientists testing the Large Underground Xenon (LUX) experiment have
reported promising scientific and technological results. They have set
up the experiment to identify the nature of dark matter, an invisible
substance that physicists believe is all around us, making up most of
the matter in the universe, but that barely has any effect on our
every-day lives.
Scientists have published the first results from the Sanford laboratory
today, which, they say, validate the experiment's design and
performance. The research challenges previous studies that claim
'sightings' of dark matter.
They are now beginning a process to uncover the exact identity of the
dark matter particle - a process equivalent to the work done by the
Large Hadron Collider in identifying the Higgs boson.
