T.I.L. LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) looking for Dark matter.
Results (280 days worth of data) presented in conferences this month.

From the article: "LZ uses 10 tons of liquid xenon to provide a dense, transparent material for dark matter particles to potentially bump into. The hope is for a WIMP to knock into a xenon nucleus, causing it to move, much like a hit from a cue ball in a game of pool. By collecting the light and electrons emitted during interactions, LZ captures potential WIMP signals alongside other data."
