question for many decades and used a variety of experimental approaches to address it, with
detectors on Earth and in space. Yet, the nature of Dark Matter remains a mystery. An answer to this
fundamental question will likely come from ongoing and future searches with accelerators, indirect
and direct detection. Detection of a Dark Matter signal in an ultra-low background terrestrial
detector will provide the most direct evidence of its existence and will represent a ground-breaking
discovery in physics and cosmology. I will review direct detection experiments with a variety of
detectors in underground laboratories around the world, with a particular emphasis on those using
liquid xenon detectors which have shown the highest sensitivity to-date.
