The Windchime experiment could use gravity to hunt for dark matter ‘wind’
Someday this could be the first direct probe of dark matter using only gravity
The proposed Windchime dark matter detector would work a bit like a backyard wind chime. Instead of rods swinging in a breeze, billions of sensors would be nudged by the gravity of a dark matter breeze blowing past Earth.
