Physicists at SLAC propose a new method to search for Earth-bound dark matter using quantum devices.

Physicists at DOE's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory propose a new method to search for dark matter using quantum devices, which might be better at detecting "thermalized dark matter". Current experiments mainly focus on "galactic dark matter", that enters Earth directly from space. This new method could potentially detect dark matter that has been present on Earth for years, too small for traditional detectors.
