What holds the Universe together? Dark matter, the most abundant form of matter, is a mysterious substance that, despite decades of study, has remained elusive.  The gravitational effects of dark matter are well understood, including the integral role it played in the formation of the Milky Way and other galaxies like it.  But attempts to observe dark matter, apart from its gravitational effects, have thus far been unsuccessful or inconclusive.  
 
The nature of dark matter remains one of the most important outstanding puzzles in modern physics.  There’s good reason to suspect that a breakthrough could be just around the corner, with far-reaching implications for our understanding of the Universe, its tiniest constituents, and even fundamental physics.
