dark matter detection

Dark matter detection involves searching for evidence of this invisible substance that makes up about 27% of the universe's mass. Since dark matter doesn't emit, absorb, or reflect light, scientists rely on indirect methods, such as observing its gravitational effects on galaxies and cosmic structures. Detection efforts include highly sensitive detectors deep underground to catch rare interactions between dark matter particles and ordinary matter, as well as large telescopes looking for potential signals. These experiments aim to uncover the properties of dark matter particles, helping us understand a crucial component of the universe's unseen mass.
