Muons tend to scatter more from high-atomic-number materials, so the technique is particularly sensitive to the presence of materials such as uranium. As a result, it has been used to create systems ...

New optical modules have now been added to the IceCube Observatory, allowing it to measure lower-energy neutrinos as well.

The creek looked calm and empty at first. Detecting started slowly with only weak signals. We continued searching along the water’s edge. Then unexpected finds began to appear. The creek turned out to ...

Klaus Kirch is head of the Laboratory for Particle Physics in the PSI Center for Neutron and Muon Sciences and a professor at ETH Zurich. He is director of the now-approved NCCR Muoniverse. President ...

The tool, which identifies, tags, and removes AI-generated music from recommendations, has detected over 13.4 million AI tracks in 2025. The tool, which identifies, tags, and removes AI-generated ...

Once a surprise to physicists, these particles are useful tools inside and outside the realm of particle physics. Every minute, countless muons rain down from space, passing through ...

Abstract: Imaging methods based on the scattering of atmospheric muons use the natural flux of muons produced in the atmosphere. Muon tomography (MT) has emerged as a promising technology in various ...

Altermagnets are a newly recognized class of antiferromagnets whose magnetic structure behaves very differently from what is found in conventional systems. In conventional antiferromagnets, the ...

What’s driving the rise in digital fraud? The global payments landscape appears more dynamic and complex than ever before. As e-commerce spending accelerates toward an estimated $8.1 trillion by 2028, ...

Recent research suggests that humans have a surprising ability—we can sometimes feel a physical object before making contact with it. In a study published this past October in the journal IEEE ...

The tests have not been approved by federal regulators, but that hasn’t stopped patients from wanting them — and doctors from worrying. By Nina Agrawal In the spring of 2021, the cancer field was ...

The SABRE (Sodium iodide with Active Background REjection) experiment aims to detect an annual rate modulation from dark matter interactions in ultra-high purity NaI(Tl) crystals which will provide a ...
