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

Astronomers use brokers to identify which signals to pursue in an endless stream of alerts. Looking up at the stars at night, it may not be obvious that the universe is constantly changing. But it is: ...

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 ...

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 ...

Documenting the work of building the world’s largest neutrino experiment presents photographers with a unique set of challenges.

The CMS experiment is developing a new type of trigger that looks for anomalies.

In 2017, Savannah Thais attended the NeurIPS machine-learning conference in Long Beach, California, hoping to learn about techniques she could use in her doctoral work on electron identification.

Don’t know your convolutional neural networks from your boosted decision trees? Symmetry is here to help.

The best of both worlds Collider experiments crash beams of particles, pumped full of energy, into one another or into a target. In the crash, all of that energy can briefly convert into new particles ...

A professor at the University of Tennessee reimagines the way we teach STEM with a science-fiction story-based class.

Electromagnetism and the weak nuclear force are two distinct fundamental forces. That wasn’t always the case.

To understand why scientists are excited about detecting a new background, just look to the history of studies of the CMB.
