Researchers have discovered that superconducting nanowire photon detectors (SNSPDs), originally designed for detecting photons, can also accurately detect high-energy protons. This unexpected finding ...

In May, a new achievement in the field of quantum science was published in the journal Science, with Chinese scientists ...

Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory have discovered a highly sensitive sensor ...

Neutrinos are ghostly subatomic particles that can travel in a straight line for billions of light-years, passing unhindered ...

A team of scientists from Oxford University might have paved the way for humans to use teleportation as a mode of transport ...

A special telescope 40 kilometres off the south French coast has detected a slippery particle called a neutrino — and it's ...

Astronomers using a giant network of sensors, still under construction at the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea, have found the highest-energy cosmic “ghost particle” ever detected.

The team announced its “ultrahigh energy” neutrino on Wednesday, in a paper published in the journal Nature. The finding ...

"History shows us that whenever you do open a new 'energy window,' you never really know what you're going to find. It's completely unexplored." ...

A deep-sea detector glimpsed a particle with 220 million billion electron volts of energy — around 20 times as energetic as any neutrino seen before.

A huge detector in the Mediterranean Sea spotted the most energetic neutrino from space to date. The particle could shed light on the universe’s most extreme phenomena.

Particle detectors play a crucial role in our understanding of the fundamental building blocks of the universe. They allow ...
