Summary

What do a star, the atmosphere and your hand have in common? All these elements are composed of matter - just ordinary matter. But there is another kind of matter, called dark matter, which constitutes 85% of the Universe. Scientists know nothing about it. Amazing experiments are now carried out to try to detect it.

CNRS Images,

Our work is guided by the way scientists question the world around them and we translate their research into images to help people to understand the world better and to awaken their curiosity and wonderment.
