With survey operations set to begin this fall, the Rubin control room at SLAC will serve as a key hub for training and remote ...
In addition to revealing characteristics of mysterious particles called neutrinos, the massive DUNE experiment could help ...
New technologies are enabling scientists to tackle previously elusive physics problems. The macroscopic realm, which consists of everything from falling balls to orbiting planets, can be explained by ...
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. Physicist ...
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 ...
The LHCb experiment at CERN has revealed a fundamental asymmetry in the behavior of particles called baryons. “The reason why it took longer to observe CP violation in baryons than in mesons is down ...
Combining the DESI data with other experiments shows signs that the impact of dark energy may be weakening over time—and the standard model of how the universe works may need an update. The fate of ...
Neutrinos are notoriously aloof, but it’s not entirely their fault. Neutrinos are some of the most abundant particles in the universe, and they are everywhere. Every second, more than 6 trillion ...
Documenting the work of building the world’s largest neutrino experiment presents photographers with a unique set of challenges. Discussing her decades-spanning career, photographer Annie Leibovitz ...
The Planck scale sets the universe’s minimum limit, beyond which the laws of physics break. In the late 1890s, physicist Max Planck proposed a set of units to simplify the expression of physics laws.
Nobel Laureate Peter Higgs died earlier this year. Twelve years ago this week, physicists discovered the particle that bears his name. When researchers at the Large Hadron Collider announced the ...
Physics may seem like its own world, but different sectors using machine learning are all part of the same universe. In 2017, Savannah Thais attended the NeurIPS machine-learning conference in Long ...
