Muons are a key subatomic particle in the discovery of new physics, but after particle collision, they’re difficult to track.

Physicists are rethinking how to detect elusive particles like neutrinos by combining existing technologies in unconventional ...

Tunable red to green emissions in upconversion nanoparticles allow precise identification of single particles, enabling accurate, long-term multicolor tracking in complex live cell environments.

One method for visualizing dynamic biological processes is single particle tracking, a localization microscopy method. For this technique to be successful, several factors need to be considered, ...

Physicists, engineers, and technicians at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory are rounding out the year with key developments to a house-sized particle detector that ...

Positron emission particle tracking (PEPT) is a powerful, non‐invasive technique that utilises radioactively labelled tracer particles to visualise and quantify the complex internal dynamics of ...

In 2024, the T2K Collaboration started to collect new neutrino data following several upgrades to the experiment that included new types of detectors. One of these, called SuperFGD, has a mass of ...

Some innovations in physics come from entirely new technologies, others from fresh theoretical insights. Others still take shape by bringing together existing tools in new ways, working out how to ...

Large amounts of dust are released from traffic emissions, industrial operations, and waste disposal activities, directly or indirectly pollute the environment, especially the soil and the atmosphere.

An international collaboration has shown that additive manufacturing offers a realistic way to build large-scale plastic scintillator detectors for particle physics experiments. In 2024, the T2K ...
