Superconducting nanowires, a mature technology originally developed for quantum sensing, can be used as a target and sensor with which to search for dark matter interactions with electrons. Here we report on a 180-hour measurement of a tungsten silicide superconducting nanowire device with a mass of 4.3 nanograms. We use this to place new constraints on dark matter--electron interactions, including the strongest terrestrial constraints to date on sub-MeV (sub-eV) dark matter that interacts with electrons via scattering (absorption) processes.

  1. Dark Matter Weather: Probing Sub-GeV Interactions with Earth-Shielding Modulation

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Daily Earth-shielding modulation of sub-GeV dark matter can separate dark-matter–electron from dark-matter–nucleon scattering, and the isoangle shape statistic provides a new validation handle for liquid-noble detectors.

  2. Unconventional Materials for Light Dark Matter Detection

    hep-ph 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    TiSe2, Sr2RuO4, and hole-doped diamond are projected to improve sub-MeV dark matter detection reaches by one to three orders of magnitude over existing proposals, with directional sensitivity from their anisotropic responses.

  3. Highly Excited Electron Cyclotron for QCD Axion and Dark-Photon Detection

    hep-ph 2024-10 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Proposes resonant detection of QCD axions (0.1-2.3 meV) and dark photons (down to epsilon ~2e-16) via highly excited electron cyclotron states in an open-endcap Penning trap compatible with large cavities.

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Bilayer graphene enables sub-MeV dark matter detection via electronic excitations with small exposure and sidereal modulation signatures.
