Physicists Deploy Quantum Sensors to Hunt the Universe’s Missing Matter
Dark matter makes up most of the universe’s mass, yet it has never been directly detected. Scientists are now deploying ultracold quantum sensors, underground detectors and space telescopes to catch its faint signals. At Texas A&M, new silicon detectors aim to register extremely rare particle interactions, while global experiments push sensitivit...

Inside China's Underground Lab Tasked With Solving A Physics Mystery
A giant sphere 700 m (2,300 ft) underground with thousands of light-detecting tubes will be sealed in a 12-storey cylindrical pool of water in coming months for an experiment that will shine new light on elusive subatomic particles called neutrinos.

Berkeley Lab Researchers Record Successful Startup of Next-Generation LUX-ZEPLIN Dark Matter Detector
Berkeley Lab Researchers recently recorded the successful startup of the LUX-ZEPLIN experiment, the next-generation dark matter detector that is housed below the Black Hills in South Dakota at the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF). The experiment is one of three Generation 2 dark matter experiments selected by the US Department of Ener...

Inside India's 21st Century Underground Lab, Hunt Is On For Dark Matter
Indian physicists have finally got a laboratory deep underground -- almost half-a-kilometre below the earth's surface - to hunt for "dark matter", the elusive glue that holds galaxies together. A form of energy and matter, it has evaded detection so far.

Underground Lab Tackles Japan Nuclear Waste Issue
Reindeer farms and grazing Holstein cows dot a vast stretch of rolling green pasture here on Japan's northern tip. Underground it's a different story.

Reports: Iran enriching uranium at underground lab
Iran has begun uranium enrichment at a new underground site built to withstand possible airstrikes, a leading hard-line newspaper reported Sunday in another show of defiance against Western pressure to rein in Tehran's nuclear program.
