Successfull First Results From World’s Most Sensitive Dark Matter Detector

"An innovative and uniquely sensitive dark matter detector – the LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) experiment – has passed a check-out phase of startup operations and delivered first results. LZ is located deep below the Black Hills of South Dakota in the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF) and is led by the DOE’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab). "

"While dark matter particles have never actually been detected, they may not be true for much longer. The countdown may have begun already with results from LZ’s first 60 “live days” of testing. "
