The first results have been reported on a collaboration between ETH Zürich and Australia's Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO), looking at the impact of radiation on SiC devices for ...

Such processes have only recently become available for study with the advent of advanced methods of laser physics. Vavilov-Cherenkov radiation attracted the attention of scientists back in the 1930s, ...

Scientists have found a neutrino that could come from a gamma-ray burst, an active black hole or a collision between a cosmic ray and photons in the cosmic microwave background.

Here’s how this happens: A neutrino will rarely strike an atomic nucleus and produce a muon, a short-lived, massive, electrically charged particle.

Feb 12 (Reuters) - Using an observatory under construction deep beneath the Mediterranean Sea near Sicily, scientists have detected a ghostly subatomic particle called a neutrino boasting record ...

Last year, attendees at a conference on neutrino research were teased with hints of the most powerful example of this subatomic particle ever detected. Only those involved in the research, however ...

The Major Atmospheric Cherenkov Experiment (MACE) telescope is a state-of-the-art ground-based gamma-ray telescope inaugurated in Hanle, Ladakh, on October 4. Located at around 4.3 km above sea ...

Other microquasars, like SS 433, have previously been detected throwing off photons at energies of over 25 TeV, but V4641 Sagittarii is next-level: it was producing radiation on par with regular ...
