An international research center working to uncover the identity of dark matter.

The International Research Center for Dark Matter is a hub at the Kobayashi-Maskawa Institute for the Origin of Particles and the Universe (KMI), Nagoya University, for uncovering the identity of dark matter. Dark matter is matter that cannot be observed with electromagnetic waves. Its existence is known from astronomical observations, but its identity remains a mystery. It is likely to be an unknown elementary particle, and determining what it is is one of the challenges spanning astrophysics and particle physics. The center was established in April 2025 as a hub of an international network that shares findings and deepens collaboration across search projects and other approaches.
