Large, low-background detectors using xenon as a target medium are widely used in fundamental physics, particularly in experiments searching for dark matter or studying rare decays of atomic nuclei.

An experiment designed by Filipino students was successfully conducted onboard the International Space Station (ISS) as part of the 2025 Asian Try Zero-G competition, a Philippine Space Agency (PhilSA ...

For most stars, neutron stars and black holes are their final resting places. When a supergiant star runs out of fuel, it expands and then rapidly collapses on itself. This act creates a neutron ...

For more than 20 years in experimental particle physics and astrophysics, machine learning has been accelerating the pace of science, helping scientists tackle problems of greater and greater ...

Abstract: Particle, nuclear, and astrophysics experiments are producing massive amounts of data to answer fundamental questions about the basic constituents of our universe. While researchers in these ...

SNOLAB scientists meticulously measure the signals that interfere with sensitive physics experiments. If the blender is on while you’re watching TV, its whirring may make it difficult for you to hear ...

Researchers just witnessed a superconductor behavior that defies our current understanding of physics. At a certain electron density, quantum fluctuations—the phenomena that make superconductors stop ...

You can’t see, feel, hear, taste or smell them, but tiny particles from space are constantly raining down on us. They come from cosmic rays — high-energy particles that can originate from exploding ...

Neutrinos are some of nature’s most elusive particles. One hundred trillion fly through your body every second, but each one has only a tiny chance of jostling one of your atoms, a consequence of the ...
