A breathtaking underground chamber lined with gold and filled with the world's purest water, Japan's Super-Kamiokande is ...

For water at room temperature, this angle is 41º. In a water Cherenkov detector, the Cherenkov radiation is detected, usually by photomultiplier tubes (PMTs), and the cone of emission reconstructed.

This creates a flash of light called Cherenkov radiation, which is essentially the electromagnetic version of a sonic boom. Sensitive detectors lining the inside of the tanks pick up these flashes ...

An international team of scientists announced Wednesday the detection of an extraordinary ... creating a phenomenon called Cherenkov radiation — a blue glow — that can be detected.

At the start of the year, the European Commission established the Cherenkov Telescope Array ... an unprecedented view of the mysterious radiation he's spent his career studying.

Neutrinos may be the key to quantum gravity, potentially leading to a unified theory combining quantum mechanics and general relativity.

releasing faster-than-light particles and so causing a faint blue flash — the eerie Cherenkov radiation seen in nuclear reactor pools. However, detecting the flash and converting it into a ...
