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 ...

Spencer Axani, assistant professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy, is the inventor of CosmicWatch, a portable, ...

Nearly everything in the universe is made of mysterious dark matter and dark energy, yet we can’t see either of them directly ...

The field of particle detection and identification has witnessed transformative progress, propelled by rapid developments in sensor design, readout electronics and computational modelling. Advanced ...

Researchers have discovered that superconducting nanowire photon detectors can also be used as highly accurate particle detectors, and they have found the optimal nanowire size for high detection ...

You can't see, feel, hear, taste or smell them, but tiny particles from space are constantly raining down on us.

Shifting from giant accelerators 26 km (16 miles) across to brain surgery theaters, a particle detector first developed by physicists at CERN is being used by scientists in Germany to treat brain ...

The sPHENIX detector is the newest experiment at Brookhaven National Laboratory’s Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) and is designed to precisely measure products of high-speed particle collisions ...

Particle size characterization in nanosuspensions often focuses on ‘majority’ features of the size distribution. Yet, for various suspensions in (bio)pharmaceuticals or fine chemicals, small fractions ...

UC Davis students have built a demonstration prototype for a dark matter detector and installed it at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, Switzerland. If the demonstration is succesful it could lead to ...

New results from the MicroBooNE experiment rule out the existence of a sterile neutrino, reshaping how scientists think about ...
