Experiment uses quantum techniques to stimulate photons, enhancing search for dark matter
Scientists cannot observe dark matter directly, so to "see" it, they look for signals that it has interacted with other matter by creating a visible photon. However, signals from dark matter are incredibly weak. If scientists can make a particle dete.....»»
