2024 JSA Postdoctoral Prize Winner Debaditya Biswas will combine different particle identification methods with machine learning to detect muons hidden in a sea of pions NEWPORT NEWS, VA – When ...
Superfast, subatomic-sized particles called muons have been used to wirelessly navigate underground in a reportedly world first. By using muon-detecting ground stations synchronized with an ...
GPS is now a mainstay of daily life, helping us with navigation, tracking, mapping, and timing across a broad spectrum of applications. But it does have a few shortcomings, most notably not being able ...

Subatomic particles called muons are born from cosmic rays bombarding the atmosphere. Because muons can penetrate objects, scientists are using them to peek inside volcanoes. This technique — called ...
In the world of particle physics, you are never alone — quite literally. Every moment there is an invisible rainstorm of subatomic particles falling down on us from space. Unlike the kind of matter we ...
When Debaditya Biswas was a high school student in India, his math teacher, Dr. Satyabrata Das, sparked his interest in physics. "Before I joined his class, I was really not sure what I was going to ...
As GNSS cannot penetrate rock or water, muon technology could be used in future search and rescue efforts, to monitor undersea volcanoes, and guide autonomous vehicles underground and underwater.
