A team of young scientists paused their new physics searches to develop an innovative machine-learning tool, which is now ...

NSF–DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory, funded by the US National Science Foundation and US Department of Energy's Office of Science, will add an unprecedented amount of cosmological data to the study of ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

The Planck scale sets the universe’s minimum limit, beyond which the laws of physics break. In the late 1890s, physicist Max Planck proposed a set of units to simplify the expression of physics laws.

In 2017, Savannah Thais attended the NeurIPS machine-learning conference in Long Beach, California, hoping to learn about techniques she could use in her doctoral work on electron identification.

The best of both worlds Collider experiments crash beams of particles, pumped full of energy, into one another or into a target. In the crash, all of that energy can briefly convert into new particles ...

As upgrades enable the LHC to produce more and more particle collisions, physicists are using machine learning to keep up with the growing task of sorting through everything.

In the 1900s, Albert Einstein unified the concepts of space and time, giving us a useful new way to picture the universe.

To understand why scientists are excited about detecting a new background, just look to the history of studies of the CMB.
