You can't see, feel, hear, taste or smell them, but tiny particles from space are constantly raining down on us.

When the first matter came into being right after the Big Bang, what was it like? It may not have been quite as scientists have been describing it. That is one of the possibilities raised by four ...

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 ...

Researechers are testing superconducting microwire single-photon detectors (SMSPDs) for use in future particle physics exepriments. The detectors, which were designed and fabricated at JPL and ...

A team including physicists of the University of Bern has for the first time detected subatomic particles called neutrinos created by a particle collider, namely at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC).

Scientists at Fermilab’s MicroBooNE experiment have ruled out the existence of the elusive sterile neutrino, a particle ...

In an article published in 2002 in the journal Physics Letters B, my Ph.D. student Maurizio Piai (now Professor of Physics at Swansea University, Swansea, UK) and I proposed an experiment with reactor ...

The particle in question, known as a sterile neutrino, was supposed to only interact with gravity and have zero interactions ...
