On July 21, 2000, the DONUT collaboration at Fermilab announced the detection of tau neutrinos for the first time. Here are a ...

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

Astronomers use brokers to identify which signals to pursue in an endless stream of alerts. Looking up at the stars at night, it may not be obvious that the universe is constantly changing. But it is: ...

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 ...

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 ...

Combining the DESI data with other experiments shows signs that the impact of dark energy may be weakening over time—and the standard model of how the universe works may need an update.

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.
