Dark Matter Detector Releases Best-Yet Result Seven metric tons of liquid xenon get closer than ever to revealing WIMPs.  

@lzdarkmatter.bsky.social - onwards and upwards into entirely new and unexplored parameter space in the hunt for WIMP dark matter!

Well done all, and special shout out to @ucl.ac.uk’s Dr Amy Cottle and @umich.edu’s Scott Haselschwardt, who led this search.
