nasa.gov —
The International Space Station's Alpha-Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS-02) is investigating dark matter, which, along with antimatter and dark energy, constitutes about 95% of the Universe's mass. AMS-02 collects data on charged particles from cosmic rays at an average rate of 573 events per second, totaling over 18 billion events annually, facilitating precise statistical analyses by multiple research teams.
