A recent search for dark matter using the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has yielded no results, challenging the prevailing theory that Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) constitute dark matter. Researchers are now considering alternative theories, including the possibility of strongly interacting dark matter. Scientists Deepak Kar and Sukanya Sinha have developed a new method to detect dark quarks and dark gluons, fundamental particles of dark matter, through high-energy proton collisions in the LHC. Although their initial search was unsuccessful, it has set upper limits for future experiments.
