Detecting the presence of dark matter in space is rather easy, but that doesn't tell us what dark matter actually is. Scientists may have had better luck in a Minnesota mine: projects occupying the mine are using ultracold pucks of material to detect dark matter interactions, and may be seeing the first signs of success.

Looks interesting.

If one is diving so close to the limits that +/- 1% will make a difference then the error has already been made.
