Dark matter remains frustratingly elusive. We have not seen any direct detection in any of our laboratory experiments, and at cosmic scales we only have circumstantial evidence that it exists. may be bound up inside tight balls the size of Neptune — so-called dark matter planets. But while those planets would remain invisible to us, they might collect atmospheres of helium and hydrogen that could undergo nuclear fusion, giving us a major clue to their presence.
And yet, we haven't been able to directly detect dark matter in experiments designed to do exactly that. Some of that may be just bad luck; whatever dark matter is, it interacts with normal matter extremely rarely . Perhaps our instruments may just not be sensitive enough, or we haven't been running our experiments long enough, to collect sufficient data to see a definite signal.
