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

The European physics laboratory CERN is planning to build a mega collider by 2070. Critics say the plan could lead to its ...

Particle physics is the study of the elementary building blocks of matter and radiation and their interaction. The fundamental particles are summarised by the standard model. This includes leptons ...

Dark matter is an elusive type of matter that does not emit, absorb or reflect light and is thus impossible to detect using conventional techniques employed in particle physics. In recent years ...

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

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.

The laws of physics could therefore differ for observers ... Lorentz symmetry breaking using pairs of nature's heaviest elementary particle, the top quark. Breaking space news, the latest updates ...
