Dark Matter Possibly Confirmed

Researchers working at the Coherent Germanium Neutrino Technology (CoGeNT) experiment – deep underground in a Minnesota mine – say that they may have found additional evidence on the existence of hypothesized, long-sought-for dark matter. A team in Italy has been reporting on seasonal variations in the pa...

Experiment Finds No Traces of Dark Matter

A report detailing more than three months of scientific observations contains no clues that may indicate dark matter actually exists. The paper shows the conclusions of 100 days of surveys, conducted using the XENON100 experiment in Italy. The facility is operated by the Italian National Institute for Physics (INFN) ...
