We've misplaced the building blocks of the cosmos - and particle physicists like Claire Malone are on a mission to find them. Despite scientists hitting a "major snag" in uncovering what exactly makes up dark matter and dark energy, she explains how questioning fundamental understanding of nature itself invites a different, more meaningful perspective universally.
