Though it was more likely that these events were due to cosmic rays or radioactivity, the results were consistent with a detection of WIMPs.

The thinking goes that WIMPs are very heavy, yet like neutrinos they rarely bump into matter to produce a detectable signal.

Discovering WIMPs is a big deal and you've got to be sure you're looking at the right thing.

Unfortunately, WIMPS are just a theory so far.

These hypothetical particles include some collectively known as weakly interacting massive particles, or WIMPs.

If Hooper's flavour of WIMPS exists then they should be efficiently captured by stars, including the Sun.

In fact, these WIMPs (Weakly Interacting Massive Particles) do not interact with themselves in the same way that "normal" matter does.

However, writing in the American journal Science, they also reported that the statistical likelihood these were due to WIMPs was low.

But although Dr Bernabei cannot tell which individual events (if any) are the result of WIMPs, she does see an intriguing pattern.

"Well, wimps, if you've got a plan for revenge then you can't forget me, " he laughed. He was now walking beside us.

The option currently favoured by most physicists, including Hooper, is as yet undiscovered weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs).

In more salubrious climes, therefore, wimps are in with a chance.

Hopefully this will change, but I have to say, the West is a bunch of wimps these days.

He is smart and he can surely see that the most invited are merely coming for the meal and that some of them are foolish and some are wimps.

The new detectors are designed to be much better at distinguishing WIMPs from surface events.

In the comic books, even when he has a chance to be with Jean Gray, he wimps out.

Supporters of the idea believe a large number of WIMPS pass through the Earth every second.

That followed an announcement in May that an American experiment called CoGeNT had also seen evidence of WIMPs.

Once the battle is over and negotiations begin, however, Americans change from warriors into wimps.
