A powerful new particle detector has passed its first major test in the hunt for clues about the early universe. The sPHENIX detector at Brookhaven National Laboratory’s Relativistic Heavy Ion ...

Physicists, engineers, and technicians at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory are rounding out the year with key developments to a house-sized particle detector that ...

Shifting from giant accelerators 26 km (16 miles) across to brain surgery theaters, a particle detector first developed by physicists at CERN is being used by scientists in Germany to treat brain ...

UC Davis students have built a demonstration prototype for a dark matter detector and installed it at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, Switzerland. If the demonstration is succesful it could lead to ...

Flo-Guard is a particle flow detector that uses microprocessor-controlledtribo-electric technology. It can be used to detect a broken bag in a dust collector and can also detect solids at the clean ...

The LUX-ZEPLIN, or LZ, central detector — a particle detector located at the Sanford Underground Research Facility, or SURF, in South Dakota — has completed its journey almost 5,000 feet below ground.

The universe began about 14 billion years ago with a single point that contained a vast array of fundamental particles, according to the prevailing theory known as the Big Bang. Under the pressure of ...
