Next week, physicists will meet in Venice to discuss the future of European particle physics research. Early in his career, ...

Once the most popular framework for physics beyond the Standard Model, supersymmetry is facing a reckoning—but many researchers are not giving up on it yet. The Standard Model of particle physics is ...

In 1995, Alexander Grohsjean cut out a story from the local German newspaper Saarbrücker Zeitung. He was 16 years old and mystified by what he read. “I brought it to school because I wanted to find a ...

The view from Palomar. In 1964, Rubin and her family (which now included four children, between ages 4 and 13) returned home. Shortly thereafter, Vera and Bob took off again for the meeting of the ...

Scientists around the world are testing ways to further boost the power of particle accelerators while drastically shrinking their size. At least when it comes to particle accelerators, bigger is ...

Neutrinos don’t seem to get their mass in the same way as other particles in the Standard Model. In 1998, researchers made a discovery that challenged their understanding of particle physics and ...

A professor at the University of Tennessee reimagines the way we teach STEM with a science-fiction story-based class. In the beginning, a spaceship called the Yggdrasil is sailing through the cosmos ...

Catanzano says she conducts these visits to tour the scientific facilities and speak with scientists face-to-face. She says she loves having discussions with experts in the field; it’s a chance for ...

Matter and antimatter behave differently. Scientists hope that investigating how might someday explain why we exist. One of the great puzzles for scientists is why there is more matter than antimatter ...
