摘要
It is now well established that roughly 25% of the total mass-energy density of the Universe is in the form of non-relativistic particles referred to as Dark Matter. This paper will review various ongoing Dark Matter searches and the variety of techniques and implementation used to both detect the rare Dark Matter interactions as well as reject the vast number of background events, with focus given to the recent results obtained in this past year. Bight years into the 21(st) century, the field Dark Matter searches is very active, with many new experimental results, and some intriguing hints.
