TROY, N.Y., Aug. 22 -- Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute issued the following news:
Results from its first run indicate that XENON1T is the most sensitive dark matter detector on Earth. The sensitivity of the detector - an underground sentinel awaiting a collision that would confirm a hypothesis - stems from both its size and its "silence." Shielded by rock and water, and purified with a sophisticated system, the detector demonstrated a new record low radioactivity level, m . . .
