"In this paper, a multidisciplinary group of researchers present an interesting concept of an experiment that would use single stranded DNA to detect WIMP dark matter. The idea is simple: a dark matter particle swiftly hits a target atom, causing the atom to fly away and collide with a DNA strand on its trajectory. The blow from the atom severs the DNA strand at the point of impact. If the original sequence of bases in the DNA strand is known, then scientists can sequence the severed piece in order to determine exactly where the atom hit."
