The search for dark matter has reached another milestone - in this case the start of science for one of the world’s newest detectors. The Super Cryogenic Dark Matter Search (SuperCDMS) SNOLAB just began its scientific operations in Ontario, and over the course of the next few years, hope to find direct evidence of “light” dark matter for the first time.
