Physicists working on the Xenon series of experiments have spent more than a decade hunting for signs of these WIMPs.

They should check out the GOP. Lots of WIMPs there.

Nice find, thanks. I love the way in which physicists design their experiments. It seems almost like cornering the truth... “Awww, shucks. Okay, you caught me. It’s me, the axion.”
