A new way to search for dark matter reveals hidden materials properties – Phys.org

New research from Chalmers, together with ETH Zürich, Switzerland, suggests a promising way to detect elusive dark matter particles through previously unexplored atomic responses occurring in the detector material.
The new calculations enable theorists to make detailed predictions about the nature and strength of interactions between dark matter and electrons, which were not previously possible.
“Our new research into these atomic responses reveals material properties that have until now remai…
