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

A charged particle that propagates through the material ... For optimal tracking of elementary particles, so-called granular 3D scintillating detectors have been assembled from many smaller ...

Do top quarks, nature's heaviest elementary particle, obey Einstein's rules at all times of day and night? Scientists at the Large Hadron Collider have the answer.

Is there a time of day or night at which nature's heaviest elementary particle stops obeying Einstein's rules? The answer to that question, as bizarre as it seems, could tell scientists something ...

A new technique in detector fabrication could change high-energy physics forever. By using additive manufacturing, ...

One branch of physics is quantum mechanics, which deals with the study and analysis of elements at the microscopic level, the behavior of matter, atoms, electrons, molecules, etc.
