Dark Matter Day: Everyone Loves a Mystery! On and around October 31st, 2025, the world will celebrate the historic hunt for the unseen—something that scientists refer to as dark matter. www.interactions.org/dark-matter-...

SuperCDMS is designed, built and operated by an international collaboration of scientists.

The Super Cryogenic Dark Matter Search (SuperCDMS) experiment is installed and operated 2km underground at the SNOLAB facility in Sudbury, Ontario in Canada, to detect dark matter particles through rare and weak interactions with cryogenic cooled detectors. More info: supercdms.slac.stanford.edu
