Tilmaamo la xaqiijin waayay oo ka soo baxay qalabka LUX-ZEPLIN ee xagjirnimada qorraxda
1-kii September 2026, wakiilada qalabka LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) ee South Dakota ayaa sheegay inay arkeen habeenka midabka ah ee xagjirnimada qorraxda, laakiin ma aysan aqoon sababta. Tani waxay timid maalin ka hor inta uusan soo bixin filimka labaad ee Dark Matter.
Maxay tahay xagjirnimada qorraxda?
Xagjirnimada qorraxda waa nooc aan caafimaadka lahayn oo aan soo saarin ama ka dib-dhigin fariin, laakiin waxaa loo arkaa midka ka jira qorraxda. Tani waxay ka dhigan tahay inay tahay mid aan la arki karin, laakiin waxay ka muuqataa sifooyinka ay leedahay.
Farsamada Fritz Zwicky wuxuu 1933-kii ku tilmaamay xagjirnimada qorraxda, isagoo sheegay inay tahay mid aan la arki karin. Tani waxay ka dhigan tahay inay tahay mid aan la arki karin, laakiin waxay ka muuqataa sifooyinka ay leedahay.
Sidee loo baarayo xagjirnimada qorraxda?
Qalabka LUX-ZEPLIN wuxuu ku yaal South Dakota, Mareykanka, wuxuuna ku shaqeeyaa inuu arko midabka iyo xawaaraha ee xagjirnimada qorraxda. Qalabkan wuxuu ku yaal meel hoose oo aan la arki karin, si loo ilaaliyo xagjirnimada qorraxda.

Maxaa ka dhacay xagjirnimada qorraxda?
Xagjirnimada qorraxda waxay ka dhacdaa meelaha aan la arki karin, laakiin waxay ka muuqataa sifooyinka ay leedahay. Tani waxay ka dhigan tahay inay tahay mid aan la arki karin, laakiin waxay ka muuqataa sifooyinka ay leedahay.

On September 1, 2026, the LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) team in South Dakota reported an unexplained particle interaction that may signal dark matter, reigniting a century-old quest. The finding arrived just days after a new season of the sci-fi series Dark Matter premiered, drawing public attention to one of physics' greatest mysteries.
A Century of Searching for the Invisible
Physicist Fritz Zwicky first coined the term 'dark matter' in 1933 to explain the unexpectedly fast motion of galaxies. Since then, researchers have built increasingly sophisticated detectors to catch a glimpse of this unseen substance, which accounts for roughly 27% of the universe. Dark energy makes up about 68%, leaving ordinary matter at just 5%.
The strongest indirect evidence comes from the Bullet Cluster, formed when two galaxy clusters collided. The collision produced hot gas clouds whose mass distribution differed from the gas itself, suggesting the presence of dark matter. Yet despite decades of effort, no direct detection has been confirmed.
How the LZ Detector Works
The LUX-ZEPLIN detector is buried deep underground in South Dakota, where surrounding rock blocks cosmic radiation that could distort signals. It is built from materials with extremely low trace radioactivity to avoid background noise. The detector watches for a faint flash of light and pulse of electric charge released when a passing particle strikes liquid xenon.
Dark matter passes through the human body constantly without measurable effect. Billions of candidate particles cross through a person every second, but only about 10 strike a nucleus in the body over a year. The resulting radiation exposure is far lower than what people receive from radon or cosmic rays.
What Dark Matter Might Be Made Of
The leading candidate is the WIMP, or weakly interacting massive particle, which is heavy and interacts only rarely with ordinary matter. Another possibility is the axion, a lighter particle that behaves more coherently than WIMPs. A team at Kyoto University in Japan says data from Earth's magnetic field could be used to search for axions.
The LZ team stopped short of calling the September 1 event a discovery or proof of dark matter, which many in the field have hunted for almost 100 years. They noted the event resembled what they think a dark matter particle should produce when it collides with liquid xenon, but more analysis is needed.
