A proposed funding program for small- and medium-scale projects reveals insights into the science, logistical challenges, and future of particle physics research. Particle physicists have a reputation ...

It's the world of ants like you've never seen it before! Dan Smith shows how biology and particle physics are teaming up in ...

Europe's CERN laboratory has taken its first steps towards building a huge new particle accelerator that would eclipse its Large Hadron Collider—and hopes to see light at the end of the tunnel. The ...

It may be the smallest, shortest chorus dance ever recorded. An international team of researchers observed how electrons, excited by ultrafast light pulses, danced in unison around a particle less ...

"We were surprised how sensitive the levitated nanoscale particle was to the fluctuations of its environment. This levitated small particle isolated in a vacuum environment will be an ideal system to ...

Experimenting in the world of particle physics probably brings to mind large, expensive pieces of equipment like particle accelerators, or at least exotic elements or isotopes that most of us can’t ...

Below the snow-covered peaks of the Andes Mountains, among scattered rocks and the scrub of prairie bushes, there sits at this very moment a 12-ton polyethylene tank holding 3,000 gallons of pure ...
