International audienceNEWS-G (New Experiments With Spheres-Gas) is an experiment aiming to shine a light on the dark matter conundrum using a novel gaseous detector, the Spherical Proportional Counter. NEWS-G uses light noble gases, such as hydrogen, helium, and neon, as targets, to search for light dark matter down to the sub-GeV/c2 mass region. The first detector of NEWS-G, is a 60 cm diameter sphere already operated in the Underground Laboratory of Modane, while the full-scale detector, 140 cm in diameter, will be installed in SNOLab at the end of this year. In this work, we present the first NEWS-G results with neon as target, which excludes at 90% confidence level cross-sections above 4.4â‹…1037 cm2 for a candidate with a mass 0.5 GeV/c2 based on 9.7 kgâ‹…days of exposure. The status of the project and prospects for the future are also discussed
