A 'boom' of light that appears when a particle exceeds the speed of light set by a medium could, in other contexts, signal a kind of quantum instability that could trigger what's known as vacuum decay ...

TPU researchers have developed a mathematical model that accurately describes how Cherenkov radiation propagates in an exotic ...

Cherenkov radiation, the faint blue glow produced when charged particles exceed the phase velocity of light in a dielectric medium, has rapidly evolved from a fundamental physical phenomenon to a ...

Image: SHINE Technologies and and University of Wisconsin Nuclear Reactor Wisconsin-headquartered SHINE Technologies has reported clearly visible Cherenkov radiation resulting from deuterium-tritium ...

Cherenkov imaging is a valuable cancer treatment tool that can help doctors track and monitor radiation doses received by tissues during cancer therapy in real time. This imaging technique works by ...

On 15 December, the Large-Sized Telescope (LST) Collaboration announced through an Astronomer's Telegram (ATel) the detection of the source OP 313 at very high energies with the LST-1. Although OP 313 ...
