Deep beneath southern China, JUNO has launched one of the most ambitious neutrino experiments in history. With its massive 20,000-ton liquid scintillator detector now operational, it’s poised to ...

Nuclear energy accounts for 10 percent of the world’s energy, and estimates say that by 2050, that number could increase by 2.5 times. That increase in nuclear energy also means an increase in nuclear ...

An international collaboration has shown that additive manufacturing offers a realistic way to build large-scale plastic scintillator detectors for particle physics experiments. In 2024, the T2K ...
