In 2019, researchers plan to replace the current dark matter experiment LUX with the more sensitive LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ). It will be located one mile...

The LSST’s camera will include a filter-changing mechanism and shutter. This animation shows that mechanism at work, which allows the camera to view different...

Ultra-bright X-ray laser pulses of the Linac Coherent Light Source

Researchers around the world pursue three approaches to look for fingerprints of dark matter's ghostly components: on the Earth’s surface, underground and in space. 

This illustration shows how an ultrabright X-ray laser pulse vaporizes part of a liquid jet, creating umbrella-shaped films of liquid and sending shock waves...
