Using three complementary techniques, CMS has now explored a large range in mass, coupling and width.
Read article 'XENON1T releases first data'
XENON1T is the first tonne-scale detector of its kind and is designed to search for WIMP dark matter by measuring nuclear recoils from WIMP–nucleus scattering.

The CERN Axion Solar Telescope has reported important new exclusion limits on coupling of axions to photons.
Read article 'Survey reveals edge of dark-matter halos'
Results show that the density of dark matter in a halo does not gradually fall off with distance, as might be expected, but instead exhibits a sharp edge.
Read article 'Dark-matter surprise in early universe'
A surprising result at the Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics in Germany suggests that dark matter was less influential in the early universe than it is today.
