Cryogenic Dark Matter Search (CDMS)

The Cryogenic Dark Matter Search (CDMS) is an experiment designed to detect dark matter particles, which are invisible and make up most of the universe’s mass. CDMS uses highly sensitive detectors cooled to near absolute zero to observe tiny interactions between dark matter particles and regular atoms. When a particle interacts, it produces small vibrations and heat, which are measured to identify potential dark matter events. This helps scientists explore what dark matter is and how it influences the universe’s structure. CDMS’s advanced technology aims to uncover one of the biggest mysteries in modern physics.
