A high-energy particle has fallen from space, and scientists have no idea what it is or where it came from. It occurred during an ultra-high-energy cosmic ray event, the likes of which were only ...

There are plenty of mysteries in the cosmos, and researchers from the University of Utah have found a new clue in one from more than 30 years ago. In 1991, scientists detected a cosmic ray so powerful ...

Below the snow-covered peaks of the Andes Mountains, among scattered rocks and the scrub of prairie bushes, there sits at this very moment a 12-ton polyethylene tank holding 3,000 gallons of pure ...

A collaboration of scientists tested next-generation superconducting microwire single photon detectors (SMSPDs) at Fermilab to further particle physics research. A team of researchers from the U.S.

Researchers have discovered that superconducting nanowire photon detectors can also be used as highly accurate particle detectors, and they have found the optimal nanowire size for high detection ...

The field of particle detection and identification has witnessed transformative progress, propelled by rapid developments in sensor design, readout electronics and computational modelling. Advanced ...
