An ion crystal turns into a perfect pond: it catches the splashes of dark matter and gravitational waves.

Scientists turned a crystal of ions into a supersensitive detector: it catches invisible dark matter and gravitational waves, just as a perfect tuning fork catches the faintest sound. This paves the way for the search for ghost particles.

🎯 Lasers can make this crystal vibrate like a quantum drum: its vibrations are so pure that they can sense the passage of a single dark matter particle.
