The compact CosmicWatch detector offers a simple and affordable way to detect cosmic particles—muons—opening up new opportunities for education, scientific research, and monitoring of cosmic phenomena. This device is widely used in universities and professional experiments around the world.
A group of students from the University of Hamburg has developed a compact detector for searching for axions—candidates for dark matter—and has set new limits on their properties. This project demonstrates that even small research teams can make significant contributions to solving complex problems in physics.
Scientists at Texas A&M University are developing ultra-sensitive detectors to search for dark matter—a mysterious component that makes up most of the universe. These technologies could lead to new discoveries in physics and expand our understanding of how the cosmos is structured.
For the first time, scientists have observed solar neutrinos transforming carbon-13 isotopes into radioactive nitrogen-13, providing direct evidence of their involvement in weak interactions. The experiment was conducted at the underground SNO+ laboratory in Canada.
