The existence of dark matter as evidenced by numerous indirect observations is one of the most important indications that there must be physics beyond the Standard Model of particle physics. This article reviews the concepts of direct detection of dark matter in the form of Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) in ultra-sensitive detectors located in underground laboratories, discusses the expected signatures, detector concepts, and how the stringent low-background requirements are achieved. Finally, it summarizes the current status of the field and provides an outlook on the years to come.

First Directional Dark Matter Limits from the MIMAC {\mu}-TPC Detector
With ~0.02 kg·days of hydrogen and a data-driven ON/OFF galactic-map analysis, MIMAC finds no Cygnus-directed excess and sets σ_SD-p < 6.65×10^{-36} cm² (90% CL).

Galactic dark matter halos: From anisotropic fluids in general relativity to Horava-Lifshitz gravity
A GR Hamiltonian deformation produces an anisotropic fluid that cannot flatten rotation curves, while Horava-Lifshitz produces the right dark-matter scaling only for an imposed power-law LTB ansatz with tight paramete...

Light Vector Dark Matter via a Magnetic Dipole Portal: Bridging Direct Detection and Fixed-Target Searches
A sub-GeV vector DM model with a magnetic dipole portal is studied at LDMX/NA64, but the claimed viable region relies on an unjustified thermal equilibrium assumption.

Radion Portal Freeze-Out Dark-Matter
A radion from a stabilized warped extra dimension can explain dark matter through resonant annihilation, with indirect detection excluding 5 to 80 GeV masses.

Connecting $t$-channel Dark Matter Models to the Standard Model Effective Field Theory
One-loop SMEFT Wilson coefficients for leptophilic t-channel dark matter, combined with global fits, exclude large coupling regions, especially C_ell_ell for doublet mediators and C_ed above 3 TeV.

A Neutron Star Hidden Inside a Black Hole
A two-fluid Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff calculation with Einasto dark matter halos produces static solutions where g_rr^{-1} turns negative in a shell outside the neutron star, which the authors call a neutron star ins...

A geometric origin for the radiative neutrino portal to secluded dark matter
A brane-separated fifth dimension gives a geometric origin for the vanishing tree-level Higgs-hidden-scalar portal, leaving seesaw neutrinos to generate a small radiative portal that makes secluded dark matter viable ...

Testing light and heavy vector mediators with solar CE$\nu$NS measurements
Combined solar CEνNS data from XENONnT, PandaX-4T, and LZ yield competitive constraints on vector NSI and light mediators and a weak mixing angle measurement at low momentum transfer.

Information-theoretic astrophysical uncertainties in the effective theory of dark matter direct detection
Using an information-theoretic bound on the halo velocity distribution, dark matter direct-detection limits vary from <10x to ~10,000x near threshold depending on the EFT operator, with higher velocity-weighting opera...

New light mediators and the neutrino fog: Implications from XENONnT nuclear recoil data
Light-mediator couplings are constrained more strongly when they attach to dark matter than to neutrinos, and the neutrinofog in xenon detectors is shifted and deformed under both scenarios.

Constraining primordial black holes and primordial curvature power spectrum with extragalactic muon neutrino
Neutrino flux from WIMP annihilation in PBH-seeded UCMHs yields f_PBH ≲ 4×10^{-5} (strongest) and P_R ≲ 10^{-1.65} at k∼3×10^{12} Mpc^{-1}.
