The advance hints at the possibility of portable muon-making devices that could help peer through solid materials for hidden contraband.

Laser plasma device could be light enough to be used on the field.

The most energetic cosmic neutrino, or "ghost particle," ever recorded may be the remnants of a nearby black hole explosion.

Physicists are eyeing charged gravitinos—ultra-heavy, stable particles from supergravity theory—as possible Dark Matter ...

Abstract: Muon scattering tomography (MST) allows to reconstruct internal structure of the matter based on imaging of muon rays, Coulomb scattering when passing near heavier nuclei of the penetrated ...

Neutron star collisions are known to be factories in which heavy elements are produced. The fusion that takes place inside stellar cores can only produce elements up to iron; the r-process, or ...

Muons, similar to neutrons, are subatomic particles that travel at almost the speed of light and can penetrate deep into matter. They allow scientists to comprehend the atomic scale without destroying ...

The collision and merger of two neutron stars—the incredibly dense remnants of collapsed stars—are some of the most energetic events in the universe, producing a variety of signals that can be ...

When two neutron stars collide, they unleash some of the most powerful forces in the universe, creating ripples in spacetime, ...
