South Korea has made a historic leap towards the future of dark matter and energy research with the successful launch of the Dark Force Searching Z-Axion (DFSZ) experiment. The DFSZ is a space telescope designed to detect and measure the properties of dark matter particles, axions. Axions are believed to make up a significant portion of the universe’s mysterious dark matter, which is invisible and therefore difficult to study. The DFSZ is the first of its kind to use a unique combination of optics, detectors, and spacecraft control systems to observe and measure the properties of axions. This breakthrough opens the door for new discoveries about the nature of dark matter and energy.
