Some innovations in physics come from entirely new technologies, others from fresh theoretical insights. Others still take ...

Kétévi Assamagan describes how US particle physicists are trying to make their field work for people of all genders, ethnicities and backgrounds. This year, thousands of particle physicists thrashed ...

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 ...

Experimental particle physicist Jessica Esquivel explores the beneficial collaboration between artificial intelligence and particle physics that is advancing both ...

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 ...

Despite its tremendous success in predicting the existence of new particles and forces, the Standard Model of particle physics, designed over 50 years ago to explain the smallest building blocks of ...

As a physicist working at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, one of the most frequent questions I am asked is, “When are you going to find something?” Resisting the temptation to sarcastically ...

The “P5” panel of US particle physicists says that work on developing a future muon collider could allow the US to regain the “energy frontier”, as Michael Allen reveals One for the future A muon ...

In the literal sense, nothing is simpler than an elementary particle: By definition, a particle is considered to be elementary only if there is no evidence that it is made up of smaller constituents.

In July 2012, physicists at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in Europe triumphantly announced the discovery of the Higgs boson, the long-sought linchpin of the subatomic world. Interacting with Higgs ...
