A team of quantum physicists has taken a concept that once lived purely in equations and turned it into hardware reality, ...
Physicists have spent decades building colossal machines to hurl subatomic particles to near light speed, but the newest frontier in accelerator technology is smaller than a fingernail. By etching ...

The detected cosmic ray had an estimated energy of 244 EeV, comparable to the most energetic cosmic ray ever observed (Osaka Metropolitan University/L-INSIGHT) (CN) — Researchers out of Osaka, Japan, ...
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 ...
A deep-sea neutrino telescope has detected the most energetic neutrino ever recorded. The particle, known as a "ghost particle," was about 30 times more active than the previous record-holder.
Nuclear and particle physics, almost synonymous with high-energy physics, is an important subfield of experimental physics. A wide range of studies in this domain are classified as scattering ...
Close-up view of a SNSPD mounted on a printed circuit board inside the cryostat at the Fermilab Test Beam Facility. This device was used in the first successful demonstration of high-energy proton ...
