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 ...

Something is out there. As far as scientists know, just 15% of the matter in the universe is the ordinary kind we can see. The other 85%, called dark matter, remains beyond detection, invisibly ...

In addition to revealing characteristics of mysterious particles called neutrinos, the massive DUNE experiment could help astronomers find a supernova right as it begins. At this very moment, ...

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 ...

With big outstanding questions and little hints of new physics, physicists are now rethinking some of their most fundamental assumptions. For centuries, scientists thought the universe was filled with ...

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 ...

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 ...

Meet the short-lived particle that helps the sun shine. Visible matter is made from only a handful of particles, but many more are behind the scenes, affecting what those matter particles do. The W ...

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 ...
