Deep underground in southern China, there is a 20,000-ton tank of liquid that can detect neutrinos. Named JUNO, the ...

Berkeley Lab scientists’ unusual carry-ons include components for a CERN experiment’s detector upgrade. You may have observed airplane passengers accompanied by pets or even musical instruments on ...

2 months of ‘unprecedented measurement precision’ by world’s largest neutrino detector raises hopes for unlocking secrets of ...

Before the Ancient Romans, it was the Ancient Greeks who colonized Naples, leaving behind traces of life, and death, inside ancient burial chambers, she says. She points a flashlight at a stone-relief ...

When studying mysterious subatomic particles, researchers use a different kind of particle detector to prevent run-of-the-mill dust particles from getting in the way. If you’ve got physics on your ...

In 2024, the T2K Collaboration started to collect new neutrino data following several upgrades to the experiment that included new types of detectors. One of these, called SuperFGD, has a mass of ...

Coveted for their beauty and hardness, diamonds are also becoming the particle physicist's best friend. That's because diamond can outperform silicon and other semiconductors that are normally used as ...

The supercollider is now being used to explore quantum phenomena, including a “magic” form of quantum entanglement.

The IceCube neutrino detector was an audacious design. The Super Kamiokande detector had shown that a huge mass of water could act as an effective particle detector. But that involved a giant tank ...

A combination of X-ray, optical, and infrared data reveal the central pulsar at the core of the Crab Nebula, including the winds and outflows that the pulsars care in the surrounding matter. Pulsars ...

You may have observed airplane passengers accompanied by pets or even musical instruments on flights. But have you ever been seated next to a particle detector? For more than a year, a small team at ...

Experimenting in the world of particle physics probably brings to mind large, expensive pieces of equipment like particle accelerators, or at least exotic elements or isotopes that most of us can’t ...
