After the updates, the Large Hadron Collider has resumed work and now scientists are setting new tasks for it, one of them is to detect dark matter

With the resumption of work of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) after a three-year break before the giant particle accelerator a new goal has been set: the hunt for dark matter.
We also wrote how solar eclipses occur, scientists sorted it out. Dark matter is a mysterious substance that should make up about 80% of all matter in the universe, but which no one has ever seen.
It is a striking fact that the vast majority most of the matter in the universe is actually invisible to us. Astronomers believe that dark matter must be present because they see its gravitational fingerprints.
Dark matter is the invisible cosmic framework that holds galaxies and clusters of galaxies together. We just don’t know what it is. Curiously, experiments at the smallest scale at the Large Hadron Collider may provide clues to one of the biggest cosmological mysteries.
Now physics consider all sorts of explanations for dark matter, including exotic ones, such as a quasi-form of radiation called “dark radiation” with wavelengths extending several light years, mini-black holes, modified gravity, supersymmetric particles, and other kinds of exotic matter.
Dark matter has prompted many new experimental methods and channels that will be of great importance in the future, said Gian Guidis, head of the theoretical department at CERN.
We also wrote that scientists are turning solar panels into energy.
