Protons are far from simple particles — they are swirling cauldrons of quarks, gluons, and quantum entanglement. Scientists ...

Researchers have discovered that superconducting nanowire photon detectors (SNSPDs), originally designed for detecting photons, can also accurately detect high-energy protons. This unexpected finding ...

Particle detectors play a crucial role in our understanding of the fundamental building blocks of the universe. They allow ...

Anatoli Bugorski was hit in the head with a proton beam that put hundreds of fatal doses of radiation through him, and ...

In recent years, there have been attempts to describe the inside of a proton using quantum information tools, with partial ...

Detecting high-energy particles is essential for exploring the fundamental structure of matter. Particle accelerators propel ...

Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory have discovered a highly sensitive sensor ...

Researchers have been working for decades to understand the architecture of the subatomic world. One of the knottier questions has been where the proton gets its intrinsic angular momentum, otherwise ...

Scientists have developed a method for generating fast, bright proton beams using a high-repetition-rate laser-plasma ...

They look for special flashes of light that would answer one of the most fundamental questions in physics and bring them fame, glory, and probably the Nobel Prize. They are waiting for a proton to ...
