TL;DR Summary

Archaeologists in Naples, Italy, are using particle physics technology to explore ancient burial chambers without the need for excavation. By employing subatomic particle detectors, physicists can see through hundreds of feet of rock to reveal hidden chambers and artifacts. This breakthrough technology, which tracks muons left over from the Big Bang, has the potential to revolutionize archaeological exploration, as well as applications in other fields such as medical imaging and cancer treatment.
