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 ...

For centuries, scientists thought the universe was filled with a mysterious substance called the luminiferous ether, a medium they believed carried light waves through otherwise empty space. In 1887, ...

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 ...

A very quirky quark Physicist Christian Schwanenberger has been studying the top quark since 2004. “I arrived a Fermilab nine years after the discovery,” says Schwanenberger, a scientist at DESY and ...

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 ...

The fate of the universe hinges on the balance between matter and dark energy: the fundamental ingredient that drives its accelerating expansion. New results from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic ...

Neutrinos are some of the most abundant particles in the universe, and they are everywhere. Every second, more than 6 trillion neutrinos cruise in between the molecules of water and caffeine in your ...

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 ...

Every day in August of 2019, physicist Dimitrios Tanoglidis would walk to the Plein Air Café next to the University of Chicago and order a cappuccino. After finding a table, he would spend the next ...

The ATLAS and CMS experiments have successfully detected the production of a quartet of top quarks during high-energy proton collisions inside the Large Hadron Collider. Four-top production is 4,000 ...

Building a bathroom scale for neutrinos Back in 1980, Robertson and Bowles developed a new idea for making a direct neutrino mass measurement. But there were only a few places that had the equipment, ...
