Story summary

At the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering, researchers are pioneering the TESSERACT experiment, a cutting-edge dark matter detector. So far, it has uncovered no signs of low-mass dark matter within the 44 MeV/c² to 87 MeV/c² range. Excitingly, they plan to conduct deeper underground tests in France, aiming to boost sensitivity and investigate new dark matter possibilities.
