Once a surprise to physicists, these particles are useful tools inside and outside the realm of particle physics. Every minute, countless muons rain down from space, passing through ...

In 2023, the ALICE experiment was ready for their best year yet, until a mysterious signal threatened everything. As the LHC wraps up its 2025 lead-ion run, physicists recall how they worked together ...

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 ...

For more than two decades, amateur photographer Dale Carter has documented the physicists who come to the Black Hills for their research. Photography is sometimes thought of as one part skill and one ...

On July 21, 2000, the DONUT collaboration at Fermilab announced the detection of tau neutrinos for the first time. Here are a few ideas for celebrating 25 years of the most elusive of elusive ...

NSF–DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory, funded by the US National Science Foundation and US Department of Energy's Office of Science, will add an unprecedented amount of cosmological data to the study of ...

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 ...

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 ...

Physicists in the United States support the development of an off-shore Higgs Factory. In 1964, the same year the Beatles rocked their way into the hearts of Americans on The Ed Sullivan Show, British ...

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.

In the 1900s, Albert Einstein unified the concepts of space and time, giving us a useful new way to picture the universe. At the start of the 20th century, physicists had a problem: The speed of light ...

Scientists are championing a relatively new technique as a method to understand the structure of the early universe in three dimensions. With enough time and magnifying power, a telescope can gather ...
