## Resource

Scientists may have just caught the first possible glimpse of dark matter — that mysterious stuff making up 85% of the universe — in a rare particle collision detected deep underground by the LZ experiment. While lead researcher Sam Eriksen calls it a potential breakthrough, the team remains cautious: the statistical significance is only 2.6 sigma — far short of the 5 sigma needed for a confirmed discovery. With more data still to come and peer review pending, this could be the start of a revolution — or just a cosmic coincidence.
