Yale Physics associate professor David Moore’s group has pioneered a technique that opens up possibilities for detecting dark matter, neutrinos, and other mysteries of the Universe using a small, table-top experiment located at Yale’s Wright Lab called Search for new Interactions in a Microsphere Precision Levitation Experiment (SIMPLE).
