Spencer Axani, assistant professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy, is the inventor of CosmicWatch, a portable, low-cost particle detector that tracks muons, invisible particles that ...
You can't see, feel, hear, taste or smell them, but tiny particles from space are constantly raining down on us.
Nearly everything in the universe is made of mysterious dark matter and dark energy, yet we can’t see either of them directly ...
Experimental particle physicists working at the MicroBooNE experiment at Fermilab National Accelerator Laboratory have found ...
The sPHENIX detector is the newest experiment at Brookhaven National Laboratory’s Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) and is designed to precisely measure products of high-speed particle collisions ...
A team including physicists has for the first time detected subatomic particles called neutrinos created by a particle collider, namely at CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The discovery promises to ...
The caverns in Lead, South Dakota, will house the gigantic particle detectors of the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment. Construction workers created two colossal caverns, each more than 500 feet ...
Now, two unrelated-but-similar experiments confirm that, in a double-slit experiment, detection of a photon’s path (its ...
New results from the MicroBooNE experiment rule out the existence of a sterile neutrino, reshaping how scientists think about ...
