An array of photomultiplier tubes, used to detect faint sources of light, mounted inside the steel tank of the Eos detector. The photomultiplier tubes will eventually be submerged in water admixed ...

Additive manufacturing techniques like fused deposition modeling, aka 3D printing, are often used for rapid prototyping. Another advantage is that it can create shapes that are too complex to be made ...

In 2024, the T2K Collaboration started to collect new neutrino data following several upgrades to the experiment that included new types of detectors. One of these, called SuperFGD, has a mass of ...

Neutrinos are perhaps one of the most elusive yet ubiquitous particles around us. Researchers at CERN have invested heavily in detecting these ghastly particles with the T2K experiment, which is a ...

A free neutron outside a nucleus is not stable. It undergoes beta decay at a probability. Over time, the number of free neutrons decreases exponentially at a time constant, which is called the neutron ...

The theory now posits that neutrino particles have a very small mass and come in three distinct “flavors” that can be switched between. Previously, it was believed that they had no mass. Studying ...

The Global Scintillator For Radiation Detector Market is projected to reach US$ 550.1 million by 2032 from US$ 363.9 million in 2023, growing at a CAGR of 4.7% During the Forecast Period 2024–2032. A ...

China’s neutrino detector has showcased a record level of precision, according to its first physics results. The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory’s key performance indicators fully meet or ...

Once upon a time, transmutation of the elements was a really big deal. Alchemists drove their patrons near to bankruptcy chasing the philosopher’s stone to no avail, but at least we got ...
