World’s most sensitive dark matter detector achieves billionfold drop in radon
SMRTR summary
Scientists operating the world's most sensitive dark matter detector at Italy's Gran Sasso Laboratory achieved a major breakthrough by reducing interfering radon radiation to levels a billion times lower than natural human body radiation. This advance eliminates virtually all radioactive background noise that previously masked potential dark matter signals, bringing researchers significantly closer to detecting the mysterious substance that comprises 85% of the universe's matter.
