Placing another piece in the dark matter puzzle

A group of scientists is continuing the search for dark matter within the framework of the "Cosmic Axion Spin Precession Experiment" (or "CASPEr" for short). CASPEr is an international research program that uses nuclear magnetic resonance techniques to identify and analyze dark matter. Very little is known about the exact nature of dark matter. Currently, some of the most promising dark matter candidates are extremely light bosonic particles such as axions, axion-like particles or even dark photons.
