China Unveils World's Deepest Dark Matter Lab
China has opened the world's deepest and largest underground laboratory, the China Jinping Underground Laboratory-II, at 7,800 feet below a mountain in Sichuan Province to study dark matter. The facility aims to shield experiments from cosmic radiation and features an expanded space for experimental equipment, including the Particle and Astrophysical Xenon Experiments (PandaX) and the China Dark Matter Experiment. The laboratory's depth and shielding are expected to provide better sensitivity for detecting dark matter, although it remains to be seen whether this will yield significant breakthroughs in the field of dark matter physics.
