COSINUS: New experiment tests controversial dark matter signals
On April 18, 2024, a large-scale experiment to detect dark matter was inaugurated in Italy. COSINUS is an international research project in which a team from the Max Planck Institute for Physics (MPP) is also involved.
The nature of dark matter is still one of the great questions of modern physics…
