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 ...

A record-breaking investigation, using a particle detector a mile underground in South Dakota, may have revealed new insights about dark matter, the mysterious substance believed to make up most of ...

But only in the last 70 years have we known for certain they were there. In 1956, physicists Clyde Cowan and Frederick Reines ...

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 ...

Nearly everything in the universe is made of mysterious dark matter and dark energy, yet we can’t see either of them directly. Scientists are developing detectors so sensitive they can spot particle ...

The first results from the world's largest neutrino detector have just been published, and they reveal the most precise measurements of neutrino parameters yet. After running the detector — the ...

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.

A tiny particle that smashed into Earth with a record-shattering energy of 220 petaelectronvolts could be the last scream of an evaporating black hole. According to a new theoretical paper, the 2023 ...
