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

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.

The CMS experiment is developing a new type of trigger that looks for anomalies.

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 part of a class on design thinking, a graduate student turned her research topic into an art installation resembling a giant disco ball.

The 2013 documentary Particle Fever follows physicists from the start-up of the LHC through the discovery of the Higgs boson. Where are those physicists now?

Scientists worried Higgs pairs would be too rare for LHC experiments to find. But by using machine learning, they now are getting tantalizingly close.

Scientists are exploring a variety of ways to make quantum bits. We may not need to settle on a single one. The goal of building a quantum computer is to harness the quirks of quantum physics to solve ...

Inventions like the transistor and laser changed the world. What changes will the second quantum revolution bring?
