Review talk presented at the Texas/PASCOS Symposium, Berkeley, CA, Dec 1992.We review the status of experiments and ideas relevant for the detection of thedark matter which is suspected to be the dominant constituent of the Universe.Great progress is being made and the chances are non-negligible that one of themany currently in-progress experiments will discover the nature of the darkmatter. We discuss the main dark matter candidates, and review the experimentsrelevant to each of them.Comment: 17 pages, tex, figures not include
