Racing to Capture Darkness.

The article focuses on the competition among researchers in detecting dark-matter particles. Kim Sun Kee of Seoul National University and his colleagues at the Korea Invisible Mass Research (KIMS) recorded one or two instances of weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs), prime candidates for dark matter. According to Blas Cabrera, who has stalked dark matter as the co-spokesperson of the Cryogenic Dark Matter Search (CDMS) dark matter particles will be detected within 5 years given the favored theoretical models suggesting that researchers should soon have dark matter in their grasp. In 2003, researchers at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) measured the big bang afterglow in an effort to capture a speck of dark matter.
