The Cryogenic Dark Matter search experiment (CDMS) employs low-temperature Geand Si detectors to detect WIMPs via their elastic scattering of target nuclei.The last analysis with an germanium exposure of 397.8 kg-days resulted in zeroobserved candidate events, setting an upper limit on the spin-independentWIMP-nucleon cross-section of 6.6 x 10^{-44} cm^2 (4.6 x 10^{-44} cm^2, whenprevious CDMS Soudan data is included) for a WIMP mass of 60 GeV. Theimprovements in the surface event rejection capability for the current analysiswith an germanium exposure about a factor of 2.5 greater than used in the lastanalysis will be discussed. To increase the sensitivity beyond the 1 x 10^{-44}cm^2 benchmark new 1 inch thick detectors have been developed. A first towerconsisting of six of these detectors has been successfully installed at theSoudan site. These detectors will be used in a 15 kg SuperCDMS stage with anexpected sensitivity on the spin-independent WIMP-nucleon elastic scatteringcross-section of 5 x 10^{-45} cm^2. In addition, the CDMS Collaboration hasstarted to look for signatures of non WIMP dark matter particles, which mayexplain the annual modulation signature observed by DAMA.
