Fermilab’s Dan Hooper and Don Lincoln talk with Popular Mechanics about why scientists are eager to find the truth about the mysteries of dark matter. Worldwide there is cutting-edge research underway nearly a mile and a half beneath Earth’s surface at the China Jinping Underground Laboratory, the deepest detector in the world.

Neutron stars are like huge natural dark matter detectors and might hold a key to helping us understand elusive dark matter. By observing a cold neutron star, physicists from the ARC Centre of Excellence for Dark Matter Particle Physics, might have vital information about the interactions between dark and regular matter, shedding light on the nature of this elusive substance. Dr. Sandra Robles of Fermilab is part of the collaboration on this research.
