Particle and high energy physics seeks to understand the fundamental constituents of matter and the interactions that govern them across the smallest distance scales and highest energies. The Standard ...

If you want to explain what was and what is, you need particle physics. Because everything we see consists of molecules and atoms, and atoms in turn consist of atomic nuclei and electrons. The atomic ...

From new medicines to cancer treatment, the tools of particle physics play an important role in hospitals around the world. The same particle-physics technology used to understand the universe is also ...

Artist’s illustration of the extremely energetic cosmic ray observed by a surface detector array of the Telescope Array experiment, named “Amaterasu particle.” In 1991, the University of Utah Fly’s ...

At a fundamental level, what is our Universe made of? This question has driven physics forward for centuries. Even with all the advances we've made, we still don't know it all. While the Large Hadron ...

In a breakthrough for the field of particle physics, researchers have established new limits on what scientists call "long-range spin-spin interactions" between atomic particles. These interactions ...

A new review in Nature chronicles the many ways machine learning is popping up in particle physics research. Experiments at the Large Hadron Collider produce about a million gigabytes of data every ...

Experimenting in the world of particle physics probably brings to mind large, expensive pieces of equipment like particle accelerators, or at least exotic elements or isotopes that most of us can’t ...

The Lab community gathered in person and virtually on Dec. 15 to hear about the newest edition of the P5 report. As the particle physics community releases its strategic plan for the next 10 years and ...

Marco Donghia’s photograph of the Cryogenic Laboratory for Detectors at INFN National Laboratories of Frascati won first place in the judges’ competition (courtesy: Marco Donghia) From an image of a ...
