One of the first to propose this idea was physicist Richard Feynman, who, in a now-famous 1981 lecture, stated that to ...
The Large Synoptic Survey Telescope, a flagship astronomy and astrophysics project currently under construction on a mountaintop in Chile, will be named for astronomer Vera Rubin, a key figure in the ...
A large and unexpected excess of top quark pairs has the physics community excited, but the interpretation is still up for debate. In 1995, Alexander Grohsjean cut out a story from the local German ...
Scientists around the world are testing ways to further boost the power of particle accelerators while drastically shrinking their size.
Yesterday, at the annual Rencontres de Moriond conference taking place in La Thuile, Italy, the LHCb collaboration at CERN reported a new milestone in our understanding of the subtle yet profound ...
Once the most popular framework for physics beyond the Standard Model, supersymmetry is facing a reckoning—but many researchers are not giving up on it yet.
Neutrinos don’t seem to get their mass in the same way as other particles in the Standard Model. In 1998, researchers made a discovery that challenged their understanding of particle physics and ...
A team of young scientists paused their new physics searches to develop an innovative machine-learning tool, which is now helping them narrow in on a rare and messy decay of the Higgs boson.
“A key challenge for quantum networks is being able to interface between many different types of quantum systems and whatever you choose to be the network.” ...
A possible explanation for the lightness of neutrinos could help answer some big questions about the universe.
One of the great puzzles for scientists is why there is more matter than antimatter in the universe—the reason we exist. It turns out that the answer to this question is deeply connected to the ...
The average banana produces a particle of antimatter roughly once every 75 minutes. US-based scientists and students working on research and experiments with the Large Hadron Collider contribute to a ...
