TL;DR: The results from the completed Cryogenic Dark Matter Search (CDMS II) experiment, which searched for dark matter in the form of weakly interacting massive particles (WIMP), cannot be interpreted with confidence as evidence for WIMP interactions, but neither event can be ruled out as representing signal.

TL;DR: The first search for weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) using the background rejection capabilities of SuperCDMS was reported in this article, where an exposure of 577 kg days was analyzed for WIMPs with mass <30 ǫ, with the signal region blinded.

TL;DR: Results of a search for weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPS) with the silicon detectors of the CDMS II experiment revealed three WIMP-candidate events with a surface-event background estimate of 0.41, with a profile likelihood ratio test giving a 0.19% probability for the known-background-only hypothesis when tested against the alternative WIMp+background hypothesis.

TL;DR: In this article, the temperature-dependent frequency shift of five niobium superconducting coplanar waveguide microresonators with center strip widths ranging from 3 to 50 µm was measured at temperatures in the range of 100-800 mK, far below the 9.2 K transition temperature of niibium.
