Scientists may have seen more hints of the dark matter purported to make up a majority of the mass in the Universe.

Researchers at the Cresst experiment in Italy say they have spotted 67 events in their detectors that may be caused by dark matter particles called Wimps.

The finds must be reconciled with other experiments that have recently hinted at the detection of Wimps.

The results were revealed at the Topics in Astroparticle and Underground Physics meeting in Germany on Tuesday.

They have also been posted on the physics website Arxiv, complementing the data of other "direct detection" experiments.
