20 May 2011 Plans Shape Up for a Revolutionary New Observatory to Explore Black Holes and the Big Bang Scientists present their design for Einstein Telescope – Europe’s next-generation detector that will ‘see’ the Universe in gravitational waves. A new era in astronomy will come a step closer when scientists from across Europe present their […]

25 November 2010 Listening to whales with neutrino telescopes Whales sing at the same wavelength as the neutrinos emitted by stars. This happy coincidence gave physicists the idea to share their undersea telescopes with marine biologists. By helping the development of a bioacoustics network to monitor the deep sea environment, they have already enabled the

1 October 2009 EUROPEAN ASTROPARTICLE PHYSICISTS TO CELEBRATE 100 YEARS OF COSMIC RAY EXPERIMENTS Four hundred years ago, Galileo was the first one to look at the sky with a telescope. About 100 years ago a new era for astrophysics began with the first astroparticle physics experiments that led to the discovery of cosmic rays.

29 September 2008 The “Magnificent Seven” of European astroparticle physics unveiled to the world Brussels, 29th September 2008. Today Europeans presented to the world their strategy for the future of astroparticle physics. What is dark matter? What is the origin of cosmic rays? What is the role of violent cosmic processes? Can we detect gravitational
