Underground laboratory in China He has embarked on a surprising work, and will attempt to uncover the secrets related to the invisible matter known as dark matter.
The laboratory is called the China Physics Frontier Research Facility for Deep and Low-Radiation Physics Experiments (DURF).
DURF: The deepest laboratory on the planet
The site was created under Mount Jinping, in Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan, and is considered the largest and deepest on the planet. a Depth What it is built into is the aspect that should greatly assist in the research.
DURF is located 2,400 meters above the Earth’s surface and is therefore able to block cosmic rays that could disrupt dark matter observations.
Space will also include other activities and disciplines, such as particle physics, nuclear astrophysics and life sciences. Understand what the place looks like in the video below:

If you’ve made it this far without knowing what exactly dark matter is, let’s explain what it is. It is a form of hypothetical structure that makes up most of the mass of the universe.
It is called dark because it neither emits nor absorbs Reflects light. This makes it an essentially invisible substance that cannot be detected by traditional monitoring methods.
If it’s invisible, you might be wondering: But how do scientists know it exists? Its existence is revealed by gravitational effects observed in galaxies and galaxy clusters.
And believe me, it is more present than you can imagine, and this is clear from the amount of visible matter, such as stars, PlanetsAnd satellites and gases in general. It has a decisive influence on the universe.
As much as science knows about its existence, the exact nature of dark matter is not yet known, and that is what researchers in China are focusing on. They aim to better understand the properties of this material.
