Some innovations in physics come from entirely new technologies, others from fresh theoretical insights. Others still take ...

A century ago, physicists didn't know about the existence of neutrinos, the most abundant, elusive and ethereal subatomic particles of matter in the universe. Although they are abundant, each ...

An international collaboration has shown that additive manufacturing offers a realistic way to build large-scale plastic scintillator detectors for particle physics experiments. In 2024, the T2K ...

Trillions of 'ghost particles' pass through our bodies every second, without us ever realising. But despite their sheer number, these strange particles - known as neutrinos - are difficult to find ...

For a gargantuan nuclear physics experiment that will generate big data at unprecedented rates—called A Large Ion Collider Experiment, or ALICE—the University of Tennessee has worked with the ...

Scientists hoping to find new, long-lived particles at the Large Hadron Collider recently realized they may already have the detector to do it. Physicist Cristián Peña grew up in Talca, a small town a ...

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 ...

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 ...

Snappily named Xi-cc-plus, Cern physicists spotted the particle in shower of debris that lit up Large Hadron Collider Scientists at the Cern nuclear physics laboratory near Geneva have discovered a ...
