The CMS and ATLAS experiments at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider have observed an unforeseen feature in the behaviour of top ...

The NSF-DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory, a major new scientific facility jointly funded by the US National Science Foundation ...

The Standard Model is a kind of periodic table of the elements for particle physics. But instead of listing the chemical elements, it lists the fundamental particles that make up the atoms that make ...

The hidden neutrino As we experimentally observe them now, neutrinos cannot interact with the Higgs field because they’re are missing something vital: They are not right-handed. Particles can be ...

The Standard Model of particle physics is both fantastically successful and glaringly incomplete. Its predictions have pieced together many of the known features of the universe and guided physicists ...

Solving the next neutrino mystery In the 1960s, a new mystery involving the neutrino began—this time in a gold mine in South Dakota. Ray Davis, a nuclear chemist at the DOE’s Brookhaven National ...

If the only thing amateur car builders needed was a ride to work, they wouldn’t ever build cars. While it’s certainly nice to take the finished product around the block to show the neighbors, there’s ...

Near miss ALICE is designed to study quark-gluon plasma, the hottest and densest form of matter in the universe. “Ultimately, we're trying to understand how matter behaves at the most extreme ...

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 ...

Nima Arkani-Hamed Professor, Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton Theoretical physicist In Particle Fever, theorist Nima Arkani-Hamed says on camera, “I’ve spent the last 15 years thinking about ...

2. Gravity and weight are not the same thing. Astronauts on the space station float, and sometimes we lazily say they are in zero gravity. But that’s not true. The force of gravity on an astronaut is ...

Getting there Before building the DUNE detectors, scientists must test and validate their technology. Scientists at European research center CERN have taken on this task by building and operating a ...
