Researchers in Italy have used cosmic ray scanning technology to detect an ancient Greek tomb underneath the city of Naples.

A proposed particle detector contains strands of hanging DNA that are severed when high-energy particles pass through – and it could allow us to track particle paths with nanoscale precision

Date Time A SciFi moment for LHCb experiment Lowering the first four of the 12 pieces that make up the SciFi detector 100 metres underground. (Image: CERN) Its name may suggest it is the stuff of science fiction, but it’s not. SciFi – the new scintillating-fibre particle-tracking detector of the LHCb experiment – is very real, and its first pieces have just journeyed 100 metres down to be installed in the underground cavern that houses the experiment. The construction of the detector and its installation in the LHCb cavern are part of the ongoing upgrade wor...

Date Time U.S. Magnet Development Project for CERN Particle Collider Upgrade Moves Forward The High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC) Accelerator Upgrade Project magnets use conductors made of niobium-tin to generate a stronger magnetic field compared to predecessor technology. These world-record-setting magnets will have their debut in the HL-LHC project at CERN. Its run will be the first time that U.S.-built niobium-tin magnets will be used in a particle accelerator for particle physics research.

>> thank you. martha: so what is dark matter and why do we care if we figure out what it is? >> dark matter nobody knows. that's why it is cool. it's actually probably flying through this room at this very moment. flying through our body but just passing in between spaces in@toms, not even hitting us. it is this big mystery. we think it makes up 25% of the universe but we really don't know what it is. scientists think this is one of the most fundamental mysteries of our universe and they want to get to the bottom of it. martha: what is this particle, this $2 billion particle detector? it detec...
