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 ...

The Large Hadron Collider’s ATLAS detector measures the electrical pulses generated by particle collisions. Its vat of ultra-cold argon captures an electronic trace of every particle that passes ...

A collaboration of scientists tested next-generation superconducting microwire single photon detectors (SMSPDs) at Fermilab to further particle physics research. A team of researchers from the U.S.

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 ...

Located 700 meters underground near the city of Jiangmen in southern China, a giant sphere—35 meters in diameter and filled with more than 20,000 tons of liquid—has just started a mission that will ...

A new and powerful particle detector just passed a critical test in its goal to decipher the ingredients of the early universe. The sPHENIX detector is the newest experiment at Brookhaven National ...

A team including physicists has for the first time detected subatomic particles called neutrinos created by a particle collider, namely at CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The discovery promises to ...

A new particle detector has passed a crucial test that shows it is ready to detect the "ashes" left over from a unique primordial soup that filled the universe immediately after the Big Bang. The ...
