Particle physics is using ever more interdisciplinary means to seek ever more exotic phenomena, Robert P Crease finds, but ...

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 ...

Scientists have used a novel new approach to discover the potential origins of the sun goddess particle Amaterasu, the second ...

CHICAGO (CBS) -- A powerful new particle accelerator that could be set up at Fermilab, a telescope to observe the oldest light in the universe, and research to learn more about mysteries such as dark ...

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 ...

Physicists have spent decades treating mass as something the universe simply hands to particles, a property encoded in equations rather than explained from first principles. A new proposal argues that ...

On July 4, 2012, scientists at CERN confirmed the observation of the Higgs boson, an elementary particle first proposed in the 1960s. The boson’s discovery was a momentous occasion, as it meant ...

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 ...

An extremely rare particle measurement from the world's largest atom smasher could cast doubt on a popular theory about the fundamental building blocks of the universe, including dark matter.

I'm giving the final exam in my intro course today, then going directly to the airport to fly to Ohio for the annual meeting of the Division of Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Physics (DAMOP, ...
