UNF’s Greg Wurtz and Chris Kelso are part of a global team that will tap expertise from engineering, physics, geosciences, and materials sciences to develop a convergence framework to establish whether evidence of interactions between dark matter and ordinary matter can be found through "mineral detection.”
Dark matter has never been directly observed; it has only been detected through its gravitational influence on visible matter. This project will test the feasibility of the mineral detection approach by studying interactions of crystals in rock samples that have been exposed to dark matter for billions of years.
