The usual approach to detecting dark matter is to search for particles with a specific range of masses. The hope is that even if we see nothing, we'll at least know more about what dark matter is *not*.

Physicists at Fermilab have now released the first data from a different type of detector, one that looks for dark matter over a much wider range at lower sensitivity.

Result: still no dark matter, but a larger swathe of parameter space ruled out.
