The INFN received their long-awaited lead treasure in 2010, and in 2017, armed with a new shield made of melted Roman lead, ...

Still, major engineering challenges remain before fusion can reach commercial readiness. UC Santa Cruz joins researchers from ...

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 ...

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 model we have for understanding the universe’s fundamental particles is a bit like a gearbox: one tiny change to any one single particles’ properties throws off the mechanics of the other ...

When studying mysterious subatomic particles, researchers use a different kind of particle detector to prevent run-of-the-mill dust particles from getting in the way. If you’ve got physics on your ...

NASA’s recent detection of unusual signals emerging from Antarctica’s ice sheet has sparked a flurry of questions among the ...

Coveted for their beauty and hardness, diamonds are also becoming the particle physicist's best friend. That's because diamond can outperform silicon and other semiconductors that are normally used as ...

Researchers have tested the performance of a new device that boosts particle signals. Device could help facilitate the operation of new particle colliders, such as the Electron-Ion Collider. In ...

The IceCube neutrino detector was an audacious design. The Super Kamiokande detector had shown that a huge mass of water could act as an effective particle detector. But that involved a giant tank ...

A combination of X-ray, optical, and infrared data reveal the central pulsar at the core of the Crab Nebula, including the winds and outflows that the pulsars care in the surrounding matter. Pulsars ...
