Summary:We propose a search for low mass dark matter particles through momentum recoils caused by their scattering from trapped, nanometer-scale objects.
The Paper linked details a novel concept for detecting WIMPs. I hope to see more work performed on the idea in the future.

This one is particularly interesting as it would detect dark matter particles that interact only via gravity (which is kind of the null hypothesis for dark matter).

I'm glad I'm not paying for it. Oh,... wait,...
