Chinese particle detector tests 'portal to physics beyond the Standard Model' — with outstanding results
Deep underground in southern China, there is a 20,000-ton tank of liquid that can detect neutrinos. Named JUNO, the ...
Experimenting in the world of particle physics probably brings to mind large, expensive pieces of equipment like particle accelerators, or at least exotic elements or isotopes that most of us can’t ...

Back when it was theorized, scientists weren’t sure they would ever detect the neutrino; now they’re searching for a version of the particle that could be even more elusive. In Germany in 1930, a ...
Prototyping is an indispensable step in the development of particle physics experiments like DUNE and projects like PIP-II. When complete, the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment, or DUNE, will be ...
Coveted for their beauty and hardness, diamonds are also becoming the particle physicist's best friend. That's because diamond can outperform silicon and other semiconductors that are normally used as ...

Ghost hunters come up empty: Neutrino experiment finds no sign of elusive ‘sterile’ particle
The KATRIN (Karlsruhe Tritium Neutrino) experiment has provided fresh insights into sterile neutrinos. Neutrinos ...
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 ...
Certain isotopes such as Indium-115 (In-115) are extremely long lived, taking over 100 trillon years for half of the Indium atoms to decay away. These isotopes allow scientists to probe the precise ...
