About

What holds galaxies together? What are the building blocks of the Universe? Why does the Universe appear the way it does?

We know approximately a quarter of the Universe is filled with a mysterious glue: dark matter. We know itโ€™s there but have no idea what itโ€™s made of.

Join researchers around the world in the biggest quest of modern astrophysics. Discover how we know dark matter exists and why understanding it is so challenging. Witness complex experiments carried out in space and deep underground. How soon will we solve the Dark Matter Mystery?
