Did we find dark matter? Here's how a Bay Area lab is helping with the possible breakthrough

Dark matter is legendary. It’s given credit for possibly explaining how the universe works, but we’ve never been able to actually identify it, until now – maybe.

On Tuesday, excitement was high in the science community, especially in the Bay Area, due to a possible dark matter discovery.

Among the researchers spending decades searching for dark matter are those working at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory in Menlo Park. They say it’s early – after all, they’re looking for something that’s invisible – but if what they found truly is dark matter, it could open up a lot of new science.
