The NSF-DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory, a major new scientific facility jointly funded by the US National Science Foundation and the US Department of Energy's Office of Science, released its first ...

Next week, physicists will meet in Venice to discuss the future of European particle physics research. Early in his career, ...

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 ...

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 ...

In the late 1890s, physicist Max Planck proposed a set of units to simplify the expression of physics laws. Using just five constants in nature (including the speed of light and the gravitational ...

Outweighing regular matter by a factor of five, but so far invisible to scientists’ experiments, dark matter is (literally) one of the biggest mysteries in our universe. A podcast from the ...

Danielle Hodgkinson watched with cautious curiosity as the data poured onto screens in the control room for the ALPHA experiment. The ALPHA team was working to observe an effect that had never been ...

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, ...

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 ...

Like Imes, Brown searches for insights into the quantum realm. And like fellow Yale graduate Bouchet, Brown finds himself in a small pool of physics PhDs: According to a survey by the American ...
