A balloon drifting 37 kilometers above Antarctica once caught a whisper from the ice that should never have been heard. In ...

Physicists at UC Santa Cruz will receive $555,000 of that to develop a literal gem of a monitoring system that such power plants will need to safely generate fusion energy—a system that incorporates ...

A particle accelerator that produces intense X-rays could be squeezed into a device that fits on a table, my colleagues and I ...

The model we have for understanding the universe’s fundamental particles is a bit like a gearbox: one tiny change to any one single particles’ properties throws off the mechanics of the other ...

The briefing book of the 2026 update of the European Strategy for Particle Physics was published in October. Paris Sphicas ...

At a fundamental level, what is our Universe made of? This question has driven physics forward for centuries. Even with all the advances we've made, we still don't know it all. While the Large Hadron ...

In the quest to unravel the mysteries of the universe, physicists are revisiting a 150-year-old theory that could illuminate why matter prevails over antimatter. This knot hypothesis, originally ...

Recently, I watched a fellow particle physicist talk about a calculation he had pushed to a new height of precision. His tool? A 1980s-era computer program called FORM. Particle physicists use some of ...

CHICAGO (CBS) -- When you think of the intersection of science and music, you might think of Tom Lehrer's "The Elements" – that song consisting of creatively-reordered recitation of all the elements ...
