This project aims to give experimental answers to long existing theoretical questions about the origins and nature of dark matter. Dark matter is a fundamental component of the universe, yet the nature of its composition is still unknown. There is growing evidence that dark matter is comprised of low mass and weakly interacting particles. By developing ultra-precise measurement tools and new techniques, this project aims to perform a stringent and comprehensive new laboratory search for ultra-light dark matter particles, over likely mass ranges not yet searched. The knowledge gained will provide economic benefits through commercialisation and stimulation of new research and development, and to defence through applications in radar, communications and sensing.

该项目旨在为长期以来存在的关于暗物质的起源和性质的理论问题提供实验性的答案。暗物质是宇宙的基本组成部分，但其组成的性质尚不清楚。越来越多的证据表明，暗物质由低质量和弱相互作用的粒子组成。通过开发超精密测量工具和新技术，该项目旨在对尚未搜索的可能质量范围内的超轻暗物质粒子进行严格和全面的新实验室搜索。所获得的知识将通过商业化和刺激新的研究和开发来提供经济效益，并通过在雷达、通信和传感方面的应用来为国防提供好处。
