abstract
Two of the most pressing questions in physics are the microscopic nature of the dark matter that comprises 84% of the mass in the universe and the absence of a neutron electric dipole moment. These questions would be resolved by the existence of a hypothetical particle known as the quantum chromodynamics (QCD) axion. In this work, we probe the hypothesis that axions constitute dark matter, using the ABRACADABRA-10cm experiment in a broadband configuration, with world-leading sensitivity. We find no significant evidence for axions, and we present 95% upper limits on the axion-photon coupling down to the world-leading level $g_{a\gamma\gamma}<3.2 \times10^{-11}$ GeV$^{-1}$, representing one of the most sensitive searches for axions in the 0.41 - 8.27 neV mass range. Our work paves a direct path for future experiments capable of confirming or excluding the hypothesis that dark matter is a QCD axion in the mass range motivated by String Theory and Grand Unified Theories.

Axiverse Lampposts
In a hierarchical multi-axion theory with random couplings, axion field ranges shrink with 1/sqrt(N), generic axion–SM couplings are suppressed, but the QCD axion's coupling is unsuppressed.

Hunting for Axions in REactor neutrino COherent scattering Detection Experiment
RECODE, a reactor experiment with two germanium detectors, could probe axion-photon and axion-electron couplings into the cosmological triangle region at masses around 0.3 to 0.9 MeV.

Earth as a transducer for ultralight bosonic dark-matter detection
The Earth can act as a giant transducer: EM-coupled ultralight dark matter induces a global, radius-enhanced oscillating magnetic field, and existing magnetometer arrays already set leading direct constraints.
