A $2bn experiment on the space station has made observations that could prove to be the first signs of dark matter, a mysterious component of the Universe.

The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS) surveys the sky for high-energy particles, or cosmic rays.

It has seen evidence for what could be dark matter colliding with itself in a process known as "annihilation".

But scientists stress that a precise description of this enigmatic cosmic constituent is still some way off.

"It could take a few more years," said AMS deputy spokesman Roberto Battiston, a professor of physics at the University of Perugia, Italy.



Well, this is exciting. I'll be interested to see whether they can find out what dark matter really is!
