With a specialised telescope in Namibia a DESY-led team of researchers has proven a certain type of binary star as a new kind of source for very high-energy cosmic gamma-radiation. Eta Carinae is ...

New experimental results show particles called muons can be corralled into beams suitable for high-energy collisions, paving the way for new physics. New experimental results show particles called ...

Particle and nuclear physics evokes evokes images of huge accelerators probing the extremes of matter. But in this round-up of my favourite research of 2025 I have chosen five stories in which ...

Watch a nuclear engineer react to Lightning Bottle from a Particle Accelerator by Electron Impressions. This video dives into high-voltage physics, particle behavior, and the science behind safely ...

Adopting innovative approaches to overcome complex construction challenges, the team has forged a unique "Chinese path" for ...

Physicists have now demonstrated a particle accelerator so small it fits inside a single molecule, shrinking one of science’s most imposing machines to the scale of chemistry. Instead of ...

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 ...

Once a year, the Large Hadron Collider smashes lead ions. But how do scientists get a heavy metal into a particle accelerator? Inside an ordinary-looking cupboard in an ordinary-looking office, ...

While India has been participating in international particle-physics collaborations for many years, challenges remain before it can become a major player, as T V Padma reports Getting involved As an ...

The memorandum of understanding will see the UK's National Physical Laboratory joining CERN's neutron time-of-flight facility with studies aiming to benefit advanced nuclear reactors, fuel cycles and ...

Dr Jacinda Ginges, from UQ’s School of Mathematics and Physics, said the unusual atom – made up of an ordinary caesium atom and an elementary particle called a muon – may prove essential in better ...
