Fastmicro B.V. is a manufacturer of surface particle defect detection systems and equipment established over 15 years ago. The main product lines include sample surface particle defect scanning, ...

This experiment, now ended, was the first to detect neutrinos from the sun in the early 1970s. The Homestake detector, pioneered by Nobel laureate in physics Raymond Davis Jr., seen here, consisted of ...

At every moment, subatomic particles stream in unfathomable numbers through your body. Each second, about 100 billion neutrinos from the sun pass through your thumbnail, and you’re bathed in a rain of ...

Berkeley Lab scientists’ unusual carry-ons include components for a CERN experiment’s detector upgrade. You may have observed airplane passengers accompanied by pets or even musical instruments on ...

An international collaboration headed by researchers in the Department of Physics has shown that additive manufacturing ...

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 ...

The IceCube neutrino detector was an audacious design. The Super Kamiokande detector had shown that a huge mass of water could act as an effective particle detector. But that involved a giant tank ...

A new and powerful particle detector just passed a critical test in its goal to decipher the ingredients of the early universe. The sPHENIX detector is the newest experiment at Brookhaven National ...

Borexino, a huge underground particle detector in Italy, has picked up a never-before-seen type of neutrino coming from the Sun. These neutrinos confirm a 90-year-old hypothesis and complete our ...
