The XENON Dark Matter Project aims at the direct detection of Dark Matter WIMPs as they scatter off a liquid xenon target in a two-phase time projection chamber (TPC). With steadily increased target mass and lower background, the XENON experiments have set world-leading limits on a variety of WIMP interactions and over a broad mass range. I will present results from the first science data obtained with the new XENONnT experiment, which continues taking data at the Gran Sasso Underground Laboratory.
