The sPHENIX particle detector, the newest experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory, has released its first ...

A gigantic "blazar" may have fired a beam of light-speed particles at our planet, creating a 2023 "ghost particle" detection.

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Before the Ancient Romans, it was the Ancient Greeks who colonized Naples, leaving behind traces of life, and death, inside ...

Mark Thomson has taken the reins at CERN just as particle physics confronts some of its deepest unknowns – and faces hard ...

The cutting-edge elementary particle observation facility here where it is hoped proton decay will be observed for the first ...

A detector buried under a mountain to catch dark matter has just been turned on something stranger: chameleons, hypothetical particles that some physicists believe carry the force driving the universe ...

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 ...

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 particle detected in 2023 at the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea may have originated from a cosmic particle accelerator ...

Particle accelerators reveal the heart of nuclear matter by smashing together atoms at close to the speed of light. The high-energy collisions produce a shower of subatomic fragments that scientists ...

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 ...
