The CMS and ATLAS experiments at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider have observed an unforeseen feature in the behaviour of top ...

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 ...

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 ...

In a recent study, ALICE scientists measured the way that lead ions colliding in the LHC sometimes transform into gold and other new nuclei.

Astronomers knew the James Webb Space Telescope would reveal new things about the cosmos. The most powerful space telescope ever built, JWST can look deeper into the universe—and thus farther back in ...

Yesterday, at the annual Rencontres de Moriond conference taking place in La Thuile, Italy, the LHCb collaboration at CERN reported a new milestone in our understanding of the subtle yet profound ...

Neutrinos are notoriously aloof, but it’s not entirely their fault. Neutrinos are some of the most abundant particles in the universe, and they are everywhere. Every second, more than 6 trillion ...

Documenting the work of building the world’s largest neutrino experiment presents photographers with a unique set of challenges.

Once a year, the Large Hadron Collider smashes lead ions. But how do scientists get a heavy metal into a particle accelerator?

The largest camera ever built for astrophysics has completed the long journey from SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory in California to the summit of Cerro Pachón in Chile.

A professor at the University of Tennessee reimagines the way we teach STEM with a science-fiction story-based class.
