DESCRIPTION:Anisotropic direct detection experiments can discover dark mat
 ter even in the presence of irreducible Standard Model backgrounds\, by us
 ing daily modulation to isolate the dark matter signal. Our new ab initio 
 molecular physics package\, SCarFFF\, makes it possible to sift through mi
 llions of molecules to find the ones best suited for dark matter detection
 . In this talk\, I show how an ensemble of different materials could provi
 de the foundation for an unambiguous discovery of dark matter\, and I expl
 ain why the ideal detector should include both parity-breaking and parity-
 symmetric materials. Finally\, I will share some recent updates from the f
 irst prototype experiment of this type\, currently being assembled in Ferm
 ilab.\n\nhttps://indico.global/event/18885/
