For decades, experiments have been ramping up sensitivity to detect dark matter, which is thought to be five times more prevalent than ordinary matter, yet no direct evidence has been found.
The detection of solar neutrinos poses a challenge for dark matter searches; as detectors become capable of observing these particles, they may outshine signals from dark matter events.
The ongoing mystery of dark matter dates back to the 1930s, with observations showing that galaxies rotate unexpectedly quickly, leading to the conclusion that they harbor invisible matter.
Despite the lack of direct observation of dark matter, various models, such as weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs), have been theorized to explain its properties and effects.
