MIT Physicist Jessica Fry Pursues Dark Matter Detection with Innovative Experiments
Jessica Fry, a fifth-year physics PhD candidate at MIT's Laboratory for Nuclear Science, is actively engaged in the search for dark matter, a mysterious component that constitutes about 85% of the universe's matter. Fry is focusing on detecting axions, theoretical particles believed to be a key component of dark matter. She is involved in two major experiments: ABRACADABRA at MIT and DMRadio at Stanford. These experiments aim to detect axions by observing faint, oscillating electric currents produced in the presence of a strong magnetic field. Fry's work is part of a broader effort to understand the fundamental nature of dark matter and its role in the universe.
