Searching for Dark Matter with Cryogenic Liquids
Astronomers have found that 22% of the universe is composed of matter which does not absorb or emit light like normal matter. The DEAP/CLEAN Collaboration is engaged in several experiments to search for this dark matter in the laboratory using the unique properties of liquid argon and neon.
To learn more about dark matter and the experiment, see our About page.
