Scientists around the world are testing ways to further boost the power of particle accelerators while drastically shrinking their size. At least when it comes to particle accelerators, bigger is ...
Amy Catanzano bridges the worlds of poetry and science. In April 2018, Amy Catanzano sat in her loaned office at the Simons Center for Geometry and Physics at Stony Brook University in New York, ...
A possible explanation for the lightness of neutrinos could help answer some big questions about the universe. Mass is a fundamental property of matter, but there’s still a lot about it we don’t ...
Neutrinos don’t seem to get their mass in the same way as other particles in the Standard Model. In 1998, researchers made a discovery that challenged their understanding of particle physics and ...
Three physicists share their experiences learning and communicating physics in a foreign language: English. Rose Ferreira, an astronomer and popular-science communicator who goes by the name Rose DF, ...
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 ...
Over time, particle physics and astrophysics and computing have built upon one another’s successes. That coevolution continues today. In the mid-twentieth century, particle physicists were peering ...
One of the latest discoveries from the LHC takes the properties of photons beyond what your electrodynamics teacher will tell you in class. Professor Anne Sickles is currently teaching a laboratory ...
Breakthroughs in physics sometimes require an assist from the field of mathematics—and vice versa. In 1912, Albert Einstein, then a 33-year-old theoretical physicist at the Eidgenössische Technische ...
The stuff of daily existence is made of atoms, and all those atoms are made of the same three things: electrons, protons and neutrons. Protons and neutrons are very similar particles in most respects.
The ProtoDUNE detectors for the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment are behemoths in their own right. In one sense, the two ProtoDUNE detectors are small. As prototypes of the much larger planned ...
